Activities

Help improve habitat and create replacement forest on a formerly denuded navy airfield. The aim is to create healthy forest habitat and increase beneficial ecosystem services including provision of human enjoyment and health. It is also an opportunity to enjoy nature and learn a bit about native plants while doing satisfying work.

Work is most likely to include removing invasive plants like blackberry, ivy, and Canada thistle but may also include other tasks such as distributing wood chip mulch.

Participants must be older than 12 and vaccinated against Covid 19.

All ages OK
