Volunteer Workday at Graham Nature Preserve

Join us as we work on invasive plant removal as the first part of a comprehensive eco-restoration program for the Ingrid Graham Historic Hellam Nature Preserve. We will be using hand tools to remove invasive shrubs and weeds. This work directly contributes to restoring native ecology and protecting regional biodiversity.

Please Note: Graham Nature Preserve is currently closed to the public except for select educational events.

What to Expect and How to Prepare: We will use hand tools to remove invasive shrubs and weeds. The work involves using loppers and hand saws to cut shrubs at their base. Some of the shrubs have thorns. All tools and work gloves are provided. Dress for the weather and wear clothes you don’t mind getting muddy or torn. Sturdy pants are recommended due to the presence of thorns. Bring drinking water. There are restrooms on site. This event is recommended for ages 12 and up (participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult).

Where to Meet: Follow the long gravel drive, veering to the right at the barn. Parking is available in the gravel lot.

Animal Policy: Service animals active or in training are welcome. Please leave all pets at home.

Refund Policy: If you are unable to attend this event after purchasing a ticket, refund requests must be made at least 48 hours before the event.

Cancellation Policy: This event will be held rain or shine, with cancellation decided at the time of the event for severe weather. If the Conservancy reschedules the event, attendees will be emailed, and tickets will be automatically moved to the new date. If the Conservancy cancels the event, attendees will be notified via email and refunded.
