Join Us to Combat Invasive Buckthorn

Saturday, October 18th at the new Clermont Property, 9:30am-11:30am
For questions or to register to volunteer, please email jen@winnakee.org

Come visit and volunteer at our newly donated preserve in Clermont, Columbia County! Read more about it here.

We will celebrate our friend and volunteer Leola Specht’s birthday by working to restore the forest of this preserve! During this event, volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about forest regeneration practices occurring on the property and lend a hand to help remove invasive buckthorn, a highly invasive shrub, that is threatening our forest. 

Please wear weather appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes, and socks you can tuck pants into. Be prepared for insects and ticks. Please bring a reusable water bottle. We will provide any tools and gloves you may need.

Volunteer parking for this preserve is near 97 Jug Road in Clermont, NY. There will be signs along Jug Road directing volunteers where to park. Google map pin: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PiUTFRs9riVwLhJ79
