Join the members of Burnet Woods Advisory Council in habitat restoration efforts in Burnet Woods!

Habitat restoration events in Burnet Woods this fall will target honeysuckle resprouts, buckthorn, and hedge maple, using spray glyphosate when conditions permit, and will be well suited to deploying small teams of volunteers supported by Trained Service Persons to different areas of the park. If you are a TSP and are interested in supporting this work, we encourage you to sign up!   

Work with Parks Staff and community leaders to assist with on-going efforts to control invasive species at Avon Woods Nature Preserve. 

Non - native plants such as honeysuckle and porcelain berry grow aggressively in this climate and create real problems for our native ecosystem. These invasive plants choke out the natural growth of native plants that provide more for a healthy understory and more for local wildlife. There are also safety concerns, as these plants grow fast and thick, and obstruct sightlines in public areas. Poison ivy also grows in these parks, please be cautious and aware of your surroundings.

Work with Parks Staff and members of the Alms Park Advisory Council (Alms Park Allies) in their efforts to improve the overall health of the park and support maintenance efforts. Projects will often include invasive species mitigation efforts as well as beautification efforts and grounds maintenance tasks.

The removal of invasive species is part of ongoing efforts to restore our native forest understory. Volunteers will use loppers and handsaws to cut invasive Amur honeysuckle and sometimes other invasives such as porcelain berry. Spring activities include pulling invasive garlic mustard. On some volunteer days we will also

Join our team for one date or all of them. We will restore our beautiful native forest by killing invasive plants or stopping their spread. From late Fall through Winter and early Spring we'll cut and stack bush honeysuckle and other woody invasives. In Spring we'll pull and bag garlic mustard. In late Summer and early Fall we’ll pull and bag Japanese stilt grass and Japanese chaff flower, and throughout the year we may engage in other habitat restoration projects. This will usually be off trail in wooded, often hilly terrain.
