We invite the community to join us for a day of stewardship and education. Learn about the natural history and geology of this unique site. Help clear invasive plants, clear trails, and do a general spruce up. Join one of our plant ID hikes, a volunteer work crew, or one of our many informational sessions. There will be family activities and a “kids only” adventure!
