Invasive Species Workday
2025-10-25 09:00 - 16:00 | Heron Haven Nature Center, 11809 Old Maple Rd, Omaha, NE, 68164, United States
There will be a morning (9AM-Noon) and afternoon (1PM-4PM) volunteer session.
Join us for a hands-on conservation day at Heron Haven! We’ll be tackling invasive bush honeysuckle that threatens our wetland habitat and giving native species the space they need to thrive.
Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or brand new, this is a great opportunity to get outdoors, learn about local ecology, and make a direct impact on the health of our wetlands.—————————————————————————We encourage volunteers to bring their own loppers, pruning shears, and hand saws to help remove Honeysuckle. 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 some snacks will be provided.—————————————————————————Why It Matters: Invasive species can crowd out native plants, disrupt habitat for wildlife, and change the balance of our wetland. By working together, we can restore and protect this special space for birds, pollinators, and the entire ecosystem. Together, we can make a difference.

Participation in this volunteer activity does require signing a safety waiver which will be available the day of.
