Kiwanis Memorial Preserve Park - Heron Habitat Helpers07/13/2024

Activities

Volunteer with Heron Habitat Helpers as we restore forest habitat for urban wildlife at Ohman Place (one of the 5 sites we work on that borders the Kiwanis Ravine) - 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's where we all make a difference...helping little trees survive to become giants! We'll remove weeds to help natives we've planted get established, and mulch the walking path. Learn to identify some native plants and what conditions they like to grow in as we work.
