Community Volunteer Day - August 21st

Join us for an invasive species removal event to help our lakes! We'll be at Holy Wisdom Monastery on Thursday, August 21, from 8:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Meet at the Monastery (stay right at the fork in the driveway). Wear closed-toed shoes and long layers to best protect yourself from bugs, scratches, poisonous plants, and sun. Bring a water bottle, sun protection, and anything needed to keep yourself comfortable working outdoors for three hours.

Removing invasive species allows our native species to thrive and do what they do best - capture and filter runoff before it can enter our lakes. Our native species are well-adapted to mitigate flooding, provide valuable habitats for pollinators and wildlife, and stabilize soil to prevent erosion. The more native plants we have surrounding our shores, the healthier our lakes will be!
