Restoration Workday

March 15, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

A group of people walking beside the road carrying hand tools in the winter.

Help us to improve the health and biodiversity of our forest while getting to know our vast, 365 acres of protected land! This is a great opportunity for those who are looking to learn more about plant identification and restoration techniques while connecting with nature and other members of your community.

Together, we will work to remove invasive plant species and improve our trails. No experience is necessary. We recommend wearing long pants and sturdy boots and bringing a pair of gloves if you have them available. We will have a selection of gloves if needed, along with tools, water and snacks! Please bring your own water bottle. Note: Our volunteer workday will be rescheduled in the event of severe weather. Registration is appreciated.
