Get started with our training sessionAbout this EventJoin the FOPOS Tree Tenders this winter for stewardship training that prepares volunteers to work independently at the Preserve.Looking to lend a hand this winter? Join the FOPOS Tree Tenders and nurture the forest through its peaceful winter season. Attend a Tree Tenders training session on Tuesday, February 24th, from 11 am to 1 pm, and get oriented to the work this season.As a volunteer Tree Tender, you'll support the health of the Preserve’s native trees and shrubs by gently caring for young plantings, conducting invasive plant removal, clearing invasive vines from protective cages, and keeping an eye on our newest restoration areas. Tree Tenders will also help monitor trails and deer exclusion fences. Volunteers in these roles will walk the trails, patch small fence issues, and report any significant damage to staff. Ideally, monitoring would happen weekly (or biweekly) to help us meet our stewardship goals this season. Adults may work independently as a Tree Tender, while minors must work under the supervision of a parent or guardian. At our training sessions, the FOPOS Director of Nature Resources and Stewardship will orient you to the tasks. You can attend one or multiple training sessions until you feel comfortable working independently.Meetup Location: Mountain Lakes House Parking LotDirections & Parking: We will meet at the Mountain Lake House parking lot, located within the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve.

Throughout the Princeton region, FOPOS works with groups to support efforts to preserve and protect open space and the environment. In 2019, FOPOS will celebrate it's 50th year.Since its founding, FOPOS has helped to establish over 1,000 acres of parkland and a network of trails that nearly encircles Princeton.  Through grants and the contributions of hundreds of people in the community, FOPOS has helped to raise over $5 million for the purchase of land and acquisition of easements on properties that might have been bulldozed for development.  In addition to land preservation, FOPOS also leads in stewardship, from creating and maintaining hiking trails, boardwalks and footbridges, to the removal of invasive species and the replanting of native varieties.  FOPOS also sponsors community programs and activities, such as nature walks and educational workshops, and advocates for governmental actions that protect our water, land, animals and plant communities. If you have an interest in spending time outdoors, enjoying nature and making a difference in the community, please contact us at info@fopos.org to get involved in trail-building and ecological restoration." } ] } ] ```
