Come help us restore the North and South Garden at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Invasive plant species can be a nuisance to any natural habitat
This will be the second volunteer planting session of our Restoration Project that will be ongoing through the Fall of 2017. We have two days of planting open to the general public: Friday and Saturday, with a possible make-up day on Sunday for any weather delays. Bring yourself, bring your friends, bring the whole family. There will be much to do for volunteers of all ages.
Saturday has been filled, but we still need a lot of help on Friday.
