Restoration Work Party - Saturday, October 3rd, 2026 (Leif Erikson @ Thurman)

Description

Join us for an invasive species removal volunteer event to help restore native habitat! We'll be removing invasive plants to make space for native species to thrive and support future revegetation efforts. This important work helps improve the health and resilience of the forest ecosystem for years to come.

When: Saturday, October 3rd, 9 am to 12 pm.

Where: Leif Erikson @ Thurman. Parking is limited. Carpooling is encouraged!

What: Removing and cutting up invasive species. We will be working on the trails, which requires hiking (up to 3 miles) on uneven terrain and physical labor in the forest (up to 2.5 hours).

Sturdy, closed-toe tennis shoes or hiking boots with good traction are required for your safety. Long-sleeves and weather appropriate layers are also recommended. Make sure to bring a water bottle - many folks find it beneficial to bring a small backpack as well. If you have any allergies, please bring medications in case of emergency! Training, tools, snacks, coffee, and work gloves will be provided.
