December 15th Land Steward Session

57 Mountain Ave,Princeton NJ 08540

15 December, 2022

Description

Join our land steward team to help us in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. The scope of work includes invasive plant removal, such as Japanese honeysuckle, burning bush, and multiflora rose in riparian restoration project areas, and winter seed sowing collected from the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. Volunteers will be guided by FOPOS's Director of Natural Resources and Stewardship, and the skills learned at these sessions can easily be applied to restoring habitat in your own backyard. Join us out in the field to learn more! Can't make this session? Visit fopos.org for a list of future dates or email [email protected] to be added to the volunteer list. BYO: water bottle and work gloves. We recommend dressing in layers wearing long sleeves, long pants, and work boots/sneakers--this will best protect you from thorns, ticks, and poison ivy. We ask that if you are feeling sick, or have potentially been exposed to the COVID-19 virus, to please stay home and join us at another time. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS WAIVER FORM AND BRING IT WITH YOU. Meeting Location: We meet at the Mountain Lake House Parking lot, 57 Mountain Ave, Princeton NJ, and then walk over to the project site as a group. Be sure to drive down the long paved driveway entrance to the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve, marked by a series of white mail boxes, the gravel parking lot is on your left about a 1/2 mile down the driveway. Looking to volunteer as a group? Families, students, community / corporate groups, please email [email protected] with “VOLUNTEER” in the subject line.
