Description

Join Land Trust staff for a second day of habitat improvement to remove non-native invasive plants from areas that are managed for grassland bird species.  Grassland maintenance is a long term goal for this preserve, as it helps promote habitat and species diversity.

Lunch will be in the woods among the birds, trees, and spring wildflowers. Work gloves and tools will be provided, but please bring plenty of water and lunch or snacks. Please mention if you would like to car-pool to any of these sites. You are welcome to arrive when you can, and stay as long as you are able to.

This is a two-day event.  Volunteers are welcome to join us the previous day, Thursday, April 28, as we begin our work.
