- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Meadowbrook is the site of one of the largest reforestation efforts ever to take place in Northwest Indiana. We will be using bush cutters and loppers to remove undesirable tree and shrub species on the property. All personal protective equipment will be provided, along with training on the safe use of tools.
Weather permitting, volunteers may be able to warm up by feeding a bonfire with previously cut woody invasive shrubs. Please wear cotton or wool clothing. Synthetic fabrics may be damaged by stray embers from the burning brush piles.
