Wildflower Woods Clean-Up and Restoration

Join us for invasive plant removal and restoration planting in Wildflower Woods, Teatown's deer enclosure area. We'll be removing populations of invasive species and replanting with locally grown native shrubs and wildflowers. Volunteers must be at least 15 years old. Wear sturdy, closed shoes. Tecnu will be available but be aware that ticks and poison ivy are present in the woods, protective clothing is advised such as long shirt and pants. Tools, gloves, and instruction will be provided. Adult and Youth waiver forms will be provided at check-in and must be signed by each volunteer prior to starting work.

PARKING: Parking is available in the visitor's center lot adjacent to the work site. This project is a part of 9/11: Serve + Remember.
