Join us for a hands-on conservation day at Heron Haven! We’ll be tackling habitat and trail maintenance such as invasive bush honeysuckle, trimming trail branches, lining the trail with logs, spreading seeds, and more. There will be a morning (9AM-Noon) and afternoon (1PM-4PM) volunteer session. Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult. Heron Haven will be providing volunteers with lunch at noon in between the two volunteer sessions along with snack and water throughout the day. Participation in this volunteer activity does require signing a safety waiver which will be available the day of.————————————————————————-We encourage volunteers to bring their own loppers, pruning shears, and hand saws to help remove Honeysuckle and trim branches. Volunteers are asked to bring their own gloves, safety glasses, and water bottle to ensure their safety and comfort. We also recommend wearing closed-toe shoes, pants, and a long sleeve shirt. A water refill station and snacks will be provided.
