Description
This is a family friendly event. Volunteers will help restore the habitat for the Red Headed Woodpecker! Come join the CHBTC Biodiversity Team as we add to the biodiversity of our Riverside Woods property. We will be installing a variety of trees and shrubs in an area that was previously infested with Japanese Knotweed.
The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. out of the main parking lot at Riverside Woods. We will hike down to the planting location and discuss the work that has been undertaken by BTC Staff and CHBTC Volunteers to remove invasive species along the way. Participants are asked to wear pants and sturdy footwear. Please bring water for drinking, as well as gardening or work gloves. Shovels and extra gloves will be provided.
