With all the rain this spring, many plants are flourishing at Boisvert's Greenwoods! However, that means invasive weeds are growing too. At this event we will pull invasive White Cockle, Common Tansy, and possible clip Canada Thistle plants to keep these invasive species from displacing native plants species.

We will take a break from weeding to install an educational sign about bats while we are there. Boisvert’s Greenwoods has one of our maternity Rocket bat boxes, which could support a colony of up to 350 bats! This sign will help visitors learn about bats and how to support them.

We will meet at Boisvert’s Greenwoods at 9 am , and leave the site by 3 pm. Wear appropriate footwear and long pants, and bring a lunch, water, and a camera or binoculars if you'd like. If you have your own gardening tools and gloves to bring we recommend that you do so, but otherwise tools and gloves will be provided. Additional information will be sent to you several days in advance of the event.

While we resume our volunteer stewardship events, we are committed to implementing actions to comply with public health measures and workplace guidance to reduce risk of COVID-19 among staff, volunteers, and the general public. We will also be implementing updated EALT health and safety policies and procedures to support a safe work and volunteer environment. Please read our guidelines for volunteering during COVID-19 here. We thank you for your understanding and support as we roll out these safety measures.

Stewardship events are weather-dependent and subject to cancellation.
