Join us for this week’s Fridays in the Forest workday at the Russell-Mandel Preserve for invasive plant management. Forested riparian buffers stabilize stream banks, reduce erosion and sedimentation, filter runoff, regulate water temperature, and moderate flooding. We’ve been evaluating our properties’ riparian forests and have chosen Russell-Mandel as the next site for restoration. This will require many work parties to remove invasive trees and shrubs from along the streams, both unnamed tributaries of the mighty Pidcock creek.

Work level: Moderate to strenuous

Tools: Hand saws and loppers

Time: 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
