Friends of Princeton Open Space, a nonprofit dedicated to land preservation, is hosting a Day of Service in Nature in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On Monday, January 16, join our land steward team to help us in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. We will work to remove invasive species within riparian restoration project areas, as well as install deer-exclusion caging to protect young tree saplings in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. Our work will help to restore native habitat for birds and other wildlife and make space for future native plantings.
Volunteers will be guided by FOPOS's Director of Natural Resources and Stewardship
