Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Butler SWCD

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 1 person is interested

Join Butler Soil and Water Conservation and Three Valley Conservation Trust at Ruder Preserve. The Preserve is 14 acres bordering Four Mile Creek in Oxford. During this work day, we will tackle some of the following:
* Clear Bush Honeysuckle
* Remove Lesser Celandine
* Pull Garlic Mustard
* Trash pick-up as needed
* Maintenance of current kiosk and boardwalk.

If you have any experience with a drill, or building decks, please let us know. The boardwalk is slowly but surely being extended to accommodate wheelchairs and others with reduced mobility.

Be prepared to get muddy as it is spring time in Ohio

Actual Location: The map function doesn't actually place the pin at the Preserve. It is located at the intersection of Shadowy Hills Dr and Bonham Rd. See Map
