Trail Work at Founders Preserve In Ledyard
December 4
FREE
Join Avalonia Land Conservancy for a hands-on volunteer day at the new Founders Preserve in Ledyard.
We’ll be working along the main trail near the dam on Tribrook Pond to remove obstructive invasive plants such as Autumn olive, multiflora rose, bittersweet, and Japanese barberry. This important first step will give us visual access to the roadway and allow us to better plan for a potential bridge.
We plan to meet at the preserve parking area at 334 Colonel Ledyard Highway on December 4 at 9:30. It is a third of mile walk from the trail head to worksite. We’ll work until about mid-day.
All participants will receive training in invasive plant identification and best management practices. Tools and light refreshments will be provided. Please wear sturdy footwear (muck boots or low waders might be a good idea), bring thick gloves, and drinking water.
