Weekday Land Stewardship Volunteer Session // 3.5.25

Join the Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS) for a weekday volunteer land stewardship session on Wednesday, March 5th from 1 PM - 3 PM.

Volunteers will work under the guidance of the FOPOS stewardship staff to perform ecological restoration work and invasive species removal in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve.

Spring is almost here, and it’s time for our March clean-up! Volunteers will head out to the forest restoration site to remove invasive species like wineberry, multiflora rose, and English ivy. These plants are crowding out the native trees and shrubs we’ve worked hard to plant, including paw paw, persimmon, and flowering dogwood. If you’re looking for a fun way to spend time outdoors and make a real difference, this is the perfect chance to get involved and help protect our local ecosystem.

Meetup Location: Mountain Lakes House Parking lot, 57 Mountain Ave, Princeton NJ, 08540. Be sure to drive down the long paved driveway entrance to the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve, marked by a series of black mail boxes. The gravel parking lot is on your left about a 1/2 mile down the driveway.
