Help is needed to restore grassland habitat! We will be removing invasive shrubs and trees to allow native plants to reestablish themselves and provide critical habitat for birds and insects. Be prepared to haul brush, limbs, and logs from the meadow.  The Land Trust will supply work gloves and refreshments. Learn more about this project.
