Invasive Plant Removal at Bender Mountain (honeysuckle)

Get Connected Icon Happens On Mar 21, 2026
Get Connected Icon 9:30 to noon

Description

The WWC has a number of beautiful wooded properties along the Ohio River, west of downtown.  One of our biggest tasks is removing invasive plants such as honeysuckle, so that native plants including wildflowers can return.  This is physical outside work, cutting honeysuckle, and putting the cut honeysuckle into large piles.  We do this as members of the WWC, and several times a year we have service groups including UC students help us too.  BUT WE NEED MORE HELP!  There are acres of gorgeous woods just waiting to be set free!

This particular Saturday project will be focused on removing honeysuckle, and perhaps some trail repair too.

NOTE:  attached is a file with a lengthy description of the habitat restoration work.

Work 9:30 am until 12:00 pm (2.5 hours) but get 4 hours credit.

This particular Saturday project will be at our Bender Mountain preserve.  There is a parking lot at the Delhi Post Acute nursing home, 5999 Bender Rd.  This is near Mt St Joseph.  The work at Bender is quite close to this parking lot.  There is a long driveway from Bender Rd to get to this parking lot.
