Woodland Warrior Work Sessions
Through our partnership with the Ottawa Mountain Bike Association (OMBA), we will continue removing non-native invasive plants from the South March Highlands Conservation Forest. No experience is required. This is a great opportunity to learn about alien invasive plants, their impact on natural areas, and what you can do to help slow the spread.
We will continue removing invasive buckthorn this week.
Bring:
Your own gloves
Water to stay hydrated
Dress:
Dress appropriately for sun, heat, and possibly getting dirty
Dress for ticks. Wear long pants and closed toe shoes or boots. Tuck your pant legs into your socks or wear tall rubber boots.
Bug hoods are helpful and often necessary in the South March Highlands Conservation Forest.
There is a porta-potty at the Klondike Trailhead.
Tools:
Tools are provided but you are welcome to bring your own shears, sickles, scythes or sharp stirrup hoes if you have them.
High School Students:
We sign student volunteer hour sheets.
Signed parental/guardian consent is required for those under the age of 18.
All volunteers will need to sign a waiver.
