Stewardship Volunteer Thursdays
Willistown Conservation Trust maintains 3 public preserves, soon to be 4! With so much beautiful habitat, we need some help keeping these conserved lands looking their best for all visitors and ensuring they continue to provide healthy habitats for the many species that depend on them.
So the Stewardship Team hosts weekly volunteer work sessions running from 9am to noon and tasks will include:
-Cutting/removing invasive plants
-Clearing vines from trees and tree cages
-Planting native trees and shrubs
-Pruning trees and shrubs
-Trail clean-up and maintenance
-Stream clean-up
The Trust will provide the necessary tools. But if you have any of the following tools, you are welcome to bring them along. Please ensure any tools are prominently marked with your name and phone number. We cannot be responsible for personal tools that may be lost or stolen.
-Hand pruners
-Soil knife
-Trowel
-Hand saw
You can come for the whole session or as long as you’re able. Send an email to mjc@wctrust.org to let us know you are coming!
