Please consider joining Avalonia Stewardship staff and volunteers on the morning of Saturday April 26^th from 9:00 -12:00 at our Cedar Wood Preserve in Norwich and be a part of our efforts at managing this beautiful nearly 50-acre preserve!  

During this second phase of work, we continue to implement recommendations associated with a recent Audubon Forest Bird Habitat Assessment, in particular the planting and protecting from herbivory of native shrubs and trees along the edges of fields where they transiton into woodlands. This softening of the forest edge will lead to an  increase in plant diversity and structure.   Participants will receive training in invasive plant identification, best management practices, and planting techniques.

The necessary tools will be supplied for volunteer use.  It is suggested that volunteers bring thick gloves, sturdy and waterproof footwear, and drinking water.  If you have loppers, clippers, or digging implements feel free to bring them.  Light refeshments will be provided.

Please register so that we can better plan for this no-cost event. A confirmation email will contain additional event details including specifics regarding parking.  Please contact Director of Stewardship, Tobias Glaza at tglaza@avalonialc.org for more information.

This Project is supported by Audubon.
