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 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 1:30 pm to 4 pm (2.5 hrs) but get 4 hours credit.
This particular Tuesday project will be at our Rapid Run preserve. You cannot park on Rapid Run Road itself. There are 2 sidestreets across the Road, both called Beech Forest Ridge Rd. It is best to park on one of those (the 2 closest houses are 6791 Rapid Run and 6821 Rapid Run. The Preserve is right across Rapid Run Road from these side streets.
