Project on the Preserve

Join us on Saturday, November 1 for Project on the Preserve, a hands-on, community-filled day of trail building, meadow restoration, trash collection, and a prescribed burn (to learn more about joining us for the burn, please read on a little further down the page).

So, whether you love building new trails, pulling invasive plants by the handful, or learning about the role of fire in healthy ecosystems—there’s meaningful work waiting for you!

We’ll be working together on these important tasks:

• Meadow Restoration:
  • Removing Scotch Broom and other pesky invasive species
• Building a New Trail:
  • Clearing vegetation and brush from the trail path
  • Digging and leveling the ground to create a smooth, even trail surface
  • Shaping the trail, ensuring proper drainage, and minimizing erosion
• Trash Pick-Up

Sign up for the above three activities by clicking the button below, scrolling the calendar until you land on November 1, and then clicking “Project on the Preserve: Wildflower Ridge”. (To join us for the burn, read on below.)
