SUMMARY: Event Heron Habitat Helpers Restoration
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Volunteer with Heron Habitat Helpers as we restore forest habitat for urban wildlife at the Stevens site - home to numerous bird species, amphibians, other wildlife, and an important green buffer for the great blue heron nesting colony at the Locks. An added benefit of re-establishing forested habitat is that long-lived trees remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere by capturing carbon and holding it in their wood for hundreds of years, provided they live. That&#x27;s where we all make a difference...helping little trees survive to become giants! We&#x27;ll remove weeds to help natives we&#x27;ve planted get established, and maybe work on trails. Learn to identify some native plants and what conditions they like to grow in as we work. For those interested - afterwards we&#x27;ll visit the heron colony and if we&#x27;re lucky, we&#x27;ll see some of the newly hatched heron chicks.

No experience necessary. All welcome.

We have all the tools needed and light snacks.

Stay for a while - or the whole time!
