Volunteer French broom Pull at Moore Creek - 3/8

Come help the Land Trust tackle invasive plant removal at Moore Creek Preserve!

Start off the month of March by getting outdoors and helping the Land Trust staff restore Moore Creek Preserve to its natural habitat. With consistent rains and wet grounds, this is prime time to pull the invasive plant commonly known as French broom.

Join us and get your hands dirty on Sunday, March 8, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM. We'll provide coffee, snacks, and all the tools necessary to get the job done.

We hope to see you out in the field soon, rain or shine!*

*Heavy rain and/or red flag days cancel.

Please allow yourself enough time to arrive 10 minutes early to review and complete your liability waiver. The Land Trust will provide you with hard copies day-of.

Signed volunteer waivers are required for all volunteers participating in the event.

If you are under 18 years of age, please bring your legal guardian to sign your liability waiver day of the event.
