Clearing Invasive Plants at Bender Mountain Preserve

Get Connected Icon Happens On Nov 20, 2021
Get Connected Icon 9:30 to Noon
Expired

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 regularly do this as members of the WWC, and several times a year we get help from UC students too!.  BUT WE NEED MORE HELP!  There are acres of gorgeous woods just waiting to be set free!

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

Work 9:30 am until Noon (about 2 hours but get 3 hours credit).

We will work at our Bender Mountain Preserve (our crown jewel!), located near Mt St Joe's University.

The parking lot is located on Bender Road, about 1/2 mile from River Road (route 50).
