The Indian Fort is losing its final Ash trees.This has caused openings in the canopy. The invasive species of buckthorn, multiflora rose, honey suckle among others, continue to need
active identification, removal, and replanting of native species. The need for shrubs in the Indian Fort is based on the need for increased species diversity, enhanced habitat
for pollinators and songbirds.

Join us for this Boy Scout volunteer workday. All are welcome, Scouts must bring: a blue card with their Scoutmaster’s signature approving work on the merit badge, a pen, and Forestry Merit Badge prerequisites complete.

Attendees need to wear long pants, long sleeves (technical shirts are best, no cotton), hat, sturdy boots (expect mud), raincoat or poncho (just in case).

All Attendees need to bring work gloves, reusable water bottle, lunch, snacks, round point shovel, bug spray, sun screen, sunglasses, bandana, loppers (for removing invasives), and a backpack.
