Activities

Help us maintain the recently planted native vegetation. We will be mainly focusing on removing new ivy starts that are trying to get a foothold in the area. We will also be adding some additional plantings near the new frog pond restoration project to help attract amphibians to the area and support wildlife.

What to Bring

Come dressed for the weather (rain or shine) in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes (rubber boots, hiking shoes or boots), long sleeves, long pants, warm layers and rain jacket. Bring a water bottle and a snack if you'd like. We'll have tools and gloves for you to use, or feel free to bring your favorite pair of gloves. The ivy is mainly growing along the lakeshore, so rubber boots are ideal for that wet terrain.

Where to Meet

We will meet at the Southeast corner of the Aqua Theater. Look for Forest Stewards in our orange vests. From there, we will walk together to the project site, which is about a 3 minute walk to the east following the blacktop path around the lake counter clockwise (i.e. if you are facing the lake, it's to the right of the Aqua Theater bleachers and small craft center/rowing center).
