Description

Join our land steward team to help us in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. We will work to remove invasive species within riparian restoration project areas, as well as install deer-exclusion caging to protect young tree saplings in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. Our work will help to restore native habitat for birds and other wildlife, as well as make space for future native plantings. Volunteers will be guided by FOPOS's Director of Natural Resources and Stewardship Can't make this session?
