On Monday, January 18, help us continue our work in the Forest Restoration Site and Trail Beautification Project in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve in Princeton, New Jersey.

Volunteers will work under the guidance of our Natural Resource Manager using pruners, loppers, and hand saws to remove target invasive species for habitat restoration, as well as work to open up the beautiful lake view. Target invasive species for removal include burning bush, privet, and shrub honeysuckle. These efforts will help to support existing natives such as Witch hazel, St. John's wort, Flowering dogwood, Hemlock, and Beech, among others.

To register, simply email info@fopos.org with VOLUNTEER in the subject line.

BYO: Please be sure to bring your own mask, water bottle, and work gloves to the stewardship session. We will follow social distancing practices when working by maintaining a 6ft distance from others and by wearing a mask when unable to maintain this distance. We ask that if you are feeling sick, have traveled, or have potentially been exposed to the COVID-19 virus to please stay home and join us at another time. We recommend wearing long sleeves, long pants, and work boots for volunteer days--it is best to dress in layers and keep in mind it can be muddy out there.

Questions? Please email info@fopos.org with VOLUNTEER in the subject line.
