About this Event

Leaf your worries behind and join IGNITE Young Professionals for a tree-mendous volunteer opportunity! You’ll help protect our local environment by tackling woody invasive species with North Central Conservancy Trust. It's time to stick it to these troublesome plants and help protect our conservation spaces!

What you'll learn: How to spot common buckthorn, the different methods that are used to "control" or "treat" these plants (aka destroy them!), and why controlling these invasive plants is important.

Activitrees: Get hands-on with pulling out invasives or team up for the "cut stump" technique. Volunteers will have the opportunity to try a variety of methods at their comfort level.

Provided by NCCT: Tools, work gloves, and light refreshments to fuel your eco-rampage. 

Zero experience is needed! Whether you're a biology major or just like being outside, you are welcome! 

Dress for the weather and the woods, prep with some bug spray ahead of time, and be ready for a workout in the great outdoors. Don't sleep on this chance to be a real-life superhero for nature.


Please register using the Eventbrite link as an accurate headcount is needed by August 14th.
