Reminder: Volunteers are needed each month to help restore the habitat at Waughop Lake and other areas around the park.
Please join us.
As you walk through the park, you may notice that destructive plants are taking over many areas. Scotch Broom, English Ivy, and Himalayan Blackberry are the main culprits, but other invasive plants are also gaining a foothold. Left unchecked, these plants will steadily crowd out or smother our wonderful native plants. They will destroy the habitat that our local birds, butterflies, bees and other beneficial pollinators, and small woodland animals rely on.
You can change this! Join us to help eradicate these invasive plants and replace them with native plants. We meet monthly on the fourth Saturday of every month, and would welcome your help whenever you are available.

• Dress in layers
• Wear sturdy shoes.
• Leather work gloves are helpful.
• Wear a hat
• Bring water
