Memorial Day weekend isn’t complete without an opportunity to stretch your legs and to enjoy the onset of late Spring/early Summer in the woods!  

We would like to invite you to join us from 9-12 Sunday, May 26th at the nearly 160 acre Glemboski-Ous Preserve to learn more about how Avalonia, with the help of community stewards, manages its preserves.  

As we hike the old logging roads, cross over the wending Trading Cove Brook, and pass through the rocky ledges and outcrops, Avalonia Board of Directors president, Dennis Main, along with Director of Stewardship, Tobias Glaza will share with you how we plan to steward the property. Discussions will include the ways in which we engage with volunteers to keep trails open and safe as well as the basics of preserve monitoring, boundary posting, methods for maintaining and enhancing wildlife habitat, and other aspects of land management. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunity to do some light trail maintenance as we walk and talk.

Volunteers are asked to bring gloves, sturdy footwear, drinking water, and bug spray.  If you have loppers or clippers feel free to bring them.  Please register here so that we can better plan for this event. A confirmation email will contain additional event details including specifics regarding parking.  Please contact Director of Stewardship, Tobias Glaza at [email protected] for more information.
