Volunteer with the Stewardship Team on the North Shore of Staten Island at Jones Woods Park! Volunteers will help care for the young forest by removing invasive species which threaten the otherwise healthy forest. Volunteers will be introduced to forest ecology, and trained in invasive plant identification, and removal techniques. Come dressed in sturdy boots or shoes, long pants, and clothing that can get dirty.
