Hi everybody,

This is an event run by Mary Ellen Dixon.

Forest lovers! Help clear invasive wooody plants threatening beautiful Willowdale State Forest.
You will learn techniques to manage buckhorn, border privet, oriental bittersweet, winged euonymous and more. During these hands on work sessions you will meet new friends, and become skilled at and using bypass loppers and other tools to cut and remove invasive woody plants.

You can sign up on the website or here so that we have some ideas how many will show up. Thank you!
