Join us as we steward the wetland area at Milliken. We will be removing invasives like purple loosestrife, queen Anne’s lace, and common teasel.

What to Wear and Bring: Volunteers will be asked to work in an area with tall vegetation and uneven footing. Please dress for outdoor work, wearing long pants, long-sleeve shirt, work boots, and sun protection. Bring layers to dress for the weather. For wetland sites, waterproof boots are recommended. Bring water, a snack, and any medication you might need. To prevent the spread of invasive species, ensure all gear is free of mud and seeds. Work gloves, eye protection, and hand tools are provided.
