Activities

Late but not forgotten, native shrubs waiting to get into the ground at Beaver Pond Natural Area and you can help. After "tucking" them in for the rest of winter, we will give them a thick layer of mulch all around to keep them warm and protected. Level area has already been weeded and soils loosened so planting should be easy. Planting guidance will be provided at start of event. Weather reports show cloudy with showers, but if it is pouring rain, we will reschedule.

What to Bring

Tools, buckets, tarps, wheelbarrows, plants and mulch all supplied. If you bring your own favorite tool, please make sure it is marked so it goes home with you again. Please wear clothing appropriate for the weather. Bring work gloves and wear sturdy shoes as some areas can be wet. Masking will be worn for initial gathering but can be removed after you start planting. Please bring your own snacks and beverages if needed.
