This month we have a change in plans – we have a great opportunity to rescue plants from an area that is slated to be paved over. We’ll meet at the Halff Park parking lot then go to the construction site to dig the endangered plants. Afterwards, we’ll move to the center of the preserve at 1770 Holford, where we’ll prepare the transplants and install them near our newest pocket prairie.
We break into teams and each team has a knowledgeable volunteer, so you know exactly what to do.
For last-minute information, especially if the weather is questionable, check our website or Facebook page for updates, including dates and locations which may change because of conditions. We don’t want anyone working in the forest or on the prairie if there is a chance of lightning strikes.
