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.
Where do animals go in the winter? We'll find out together on this adventurous day as we hike, play games and do scavenger hunts. We will make wildlife crafts and even meet some live animals! We will finish with hot chocolate and a story. Pack a lunch and be prepared to have fun in the cold weather
