CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS! Opportunity for ages 14 and up
Join friends and neighbors as we celebrate Earth Day 2024 with a volunteer invasive purple loosestrife plant removal at Hickory Hills in Lunenburg. Volunteers will hand pull plants on the shoreline of Hickory Hills Lake in order to improve the waterfront ecosystem. The plant invades marshes and lakeshores, replacing natural wetland plants and impacting habitat for local wildlife.
Volunteers should gather at Hickory Hills Lake, 19 Island Road in Lunenburg at 9:45 am. Some tools and work gloves will be available for use, but if possible, volunteers are asked to bring their own loppers, pruning shears, and work gloves. Please dress for the weather, consider long sleeves, long pants and a hat. If you can wear rubber boots, muck boots, or waders that will allow access to more plants; otherwise wear sturdy shoes. Consider bug repellent, and sunscreen. Be sure to bring drinking water. This volunteer event is for ages 14 and up. Under 18 years old should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
This event is hosted by the Nashua River Watershed Association, with support from the US Department of Agriculture, and in partnership with the Hickory Hills Landowners, Inc.
PLEASE enter your best email address for contact purposes to receive updates and any notices of changes in plans due to inclement weather, etc.
Thank you!
