Opportunity Details
Habitat Restoration Event (Invasive Plant Removal)
The mission of Friends of Forest Hill Park is to advocate for and to preserve Forest Hill Park, concentrating on the historic buildings and trails, the native plant life and fauna, the local watershed, and the public use of the grounds and facilities.
Event Description: We often work on invasive plant management, such as pulling English ivy. These plants are removed because they outcompete native plants, and native plants provide food, protection, and places to reproduce and live for native birds, insects, and mammals. Other park maintenance tasks (mulching, weeding, etc.) are done as needed. It is generally light work (typically bending. pulling, raking, etc.).
Time Commitment: Up to 2 hours. Please arrive BEFORE 10:00 to allow time for registration. We leave the meeting site shortly after 10:00.
What to Bring: Work gloves if you have them. Long pants and closed shoes are strongly recommended.
Weather: We will work unless there's severe weather or heavy rain.
Meeting Location: Decided on a month by month basis, as the Park covers 100+ acres.
