In the Zone: A Two-Part Exploration of Riparian Buffers

Saturday, September 14th | 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

at Columcille Megalith Park | 2155 Fox Gap Road, Bangor, PA

The plants growing in and around our ponds, streams, and wetlands are vital to the broader ecosystem. But new challenges – from introduced pests and diseases to climate change – threaten their survival. In the face of these challenges, how can we help these plant communities thrive?

Learn about establishing and maintaining riparian forests with Conservation Easement Stewards Sebastian Harris and Katie Toner. Plus, get hands-on experience planting and protecting tree saplings. We’ll be gathering and planting at Columcille Megalith Park, a sprawling park that brings together wildlife habitat and Celtic-inspired art, protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement. Please carpool if possible.

This event is the second of Heritage Conservancy’s 2-part series of in-person classes about riparian buffers. (Register for one or both.)

Registration is now open for Heritage Conservancy conservation easement landowners. Registration for Heritage Conservancy members and the general public will open on August 15th. If you are a member or part of the general public and you would like to be added to the waitlist, please contact Katie Toner at ktoner@heritageconservancy.org.
