Thank you for registering for this free stewardship opportunity (See entry form below). While not required for participation, your registration does help us in planning a more successful event.
As you may know, our efforts on 2/24 will be devoted to clearing vegetation from the stone wall that runs along Shewville Road. This work will complement our earlier mowing efforts, designed to keep the fields open for birds and pollinators. Over the years invasive vines and shrubs have found refuge along the boundaries of this field and have begun to encroach inward. Winter season is a great time to cut these back, allowing for increased access in the spring for another round of more intensive management efforts.
There is no designated parking area for this preserve, but there is ample parking along Town Farm Road. Please exercise caution exiting and entering your vehicles.
Please bring any clippers, pruners, or loppers you may have. If you don't have any, there will be extras on site for your use. The weather looks like it will cooperate, but in the event that it’s necessary, we’ve set aside the next day, Sunday 2/25, as an alternate.
Looking forward to seeing you there!!
