Earth Day Volunteer Event at Underhill Preserve in Jericho
ORGANIZATION: Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Society
Please visit the new page to apply.
Like using loppers and saws and machetes? Are you rugged and willing to work hard but have some fun? Are you a Habitat Hero and a Wildlife Warrior? Then this opportunity is for you! Underhill Preserve in Jericho is closed to the public, but gearing up for the return of our invasive slayer goats and we need to start prepping for it! We will be hacking down multiflora rose and autumn olive. Please wear a cap if you have one, be sure to wear sunscreen (we'll be out in the sun) and bring insect repellent if you have it (if not, we will have some to share). If you have your own loppers, machete or saws please bring them, otherwise we have some to share.
Directions: Due to the sensitive location, we will meet and then carpool to the area where we will park. Please meet in front of the Starbucks in the Whole Foods shopping center in Jericho on Route 107. .
Registration is an absolute must: 516-695-0763 or hobaudubon@gmail.com
