Support the restoration progress at California Woods Nature Preserve
Join our team for one date or all of them. We will protect our beautiful native forest from invasive plants. In early Autumn we’ll pull and bag Japanese stilt grass and Japanese chaff flower. In late Autumn we’ll cut and stack bush honeysuckle and other woody invasives. This will be off-trail in wooded, hilly terrain.
Make sure to bring water and dress for the weather. Park staff will guide the group. Use our gloves or bring your own, remember to bring water, and dress for going off-trail. Open to adults and children ages 10 and up accompanied by an adult.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
California Woods Nature Preserve is located at 5400 Kellogg Ave, 45230
Staff will greet volunteers outside the nature center.
Volunteers should be prepared for the weather (lightweight &/or layered clothing), wear long pants. Close-toed shoes are required. Recommended: Work gloves (if you own them), sunscreen, refillable water bottle. There will be work gloves available to borrow and a water on site for volunteers to refill bottles. Cincinnati Parks discourages single use plastics.
