Community Impact Outing - Wahdo:Gwas & Hike

Join L.L.Bean Pittsburgh (http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/1000001727) as we continue our monthly series of "Community Impact" Outings. The Community Impact Outings (CIO) will combine an outreach opportunity with an outdoor activity. These family-friendly outings will strengthen our bonds with nature as well as others in the community.

August's CIO will combine invasive plant species removal and wetland inventory at the Wahdo:Gwas Wetlands (https://sites.google.com/site/latodaminaturecenter/wetlands-and-vernal-pools-project) followed with a short hike at the Nature Center. Partnering with North Park Latodami Nature Center (https://sites.google.com/site/latodaminaturecenter/), we'll assist in ongoing research by helping to document the great diversity of plant and animal life in the new wetland.
