Help us plant 200 trees!
This land has historically been used as an illegal dump site; during March, volunteers went in and removed 1.5 tons of trash! Now, we will focus on planting beneficial trees. In the rear portion of the property, there is a wetland that serves as a resting area for waterfowl along a fly-over migratory route. This site is in poor shape and requires a tremendous amount of attention. The goal is to, over time, create a vibrant space for wildlife to thrive.
