Volunteer dates added! We will be hosting two more garlic mustard work days this month:

June 14th and 24th from 10am - 12:30pm.

Help us remove garlic mustard that threatens to take over the high-quality forest in Haven Hill Natural Area.

Meet at the mountain bike trailhead parking lot on the north side of Livingston Rd.

These workdays are a blend of hands-on restoration and outdoor education. We provide all the gear and training you need. No experience required! We will be covering a lot of ground, so come prepared for a hike.

Please dress for outdoor work, wearing long pants, long-sleeve shirt, work boots, and sun protection. Bring layers to dress for the weather. For wetland sites, waterproof boots are recommended. Bring water, a snack, and any medication you might need. To prevent the spread of invasive species, ensure all gear is free of mud and seeds. Work gloves, eye protection, and hand tools are provided.
