πŸ‘πŸ»MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY! @Boyer Nature Preserve

Saturday, 9 AM-12 PM

We’ll be working alongside FACT- Friends of Alum Creek and Tributaries to continue removing the invasive shrub, honeysuckle, and tree, callery pear, from Boyer Nature Preserve in Westerville. 

We’ll have snacks, refreshments, tools, and gloves. Please bring your own tools and gloves if you have them to limit contact among volunteers. 

Based on past experience, we highly recommend non-cotton clothing, as it’s seed season and they’re prone to sticking to soft/loose clothing.
