Forest Fridays
Fridays, July 10, 17, 24, 31 - Meet at 9am
Join us for invasive species removal at the peak of the growing season. June is when invasives are easiest to spot and most vulnerable to removal — your work opens the forest floor for native wildflowers, oak seedlings, and the spring-loaded understory waiting underneath.
Meet at VCPA Learning Garden (New Location for July!)
