Volunteers will meet at the asphalt path located between 2354-2358 Old Trail Drive and work in the natural area around the tot-lot removing English ivy that is choking out the native trees and ground-covers. Volunteers will also remove large double-file viburnums to give space for native trees and shrubs. This is a satisfying job, as volunteers will see the difference they will make to restore the natural area to healthy wildlife habitat. Click here to sign up to volunteer. |
