Community Conservation at Langdon Park

Join Casey Trees as we continue our work at Langdon Park to conserve the Forest Patch and care for young trees!

Help clip back invasive species, remove vines, add mulch, and protect young trees within the forest patch. You provide the volunteers, we provide all the necessary tools and supplies to remove invasives and care for trees. Participants will receive a short, hands-on training on site. After learning the tools and techniques, participants will split up into groups and begin working throughout the park.
