About this Event
Join the Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS) for a weekday volunteer land stewardship session on Wednesday, April 2nd from 10 AM - 12 PM.
Volunteers will work under the guidance of the FOPOS stewardship staff to perform ecological restoration work and invasive species removal in the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve.
Spring is here! Volunteers will head out to our restoration sites to remove invasive species like wineberry, multiflora rose, and English ivy. These plants are crowding out the native trees and shrubs we’ve worked hard to plant, including paw paw, persimmon, and flowering dogwood. If you’re looking for a fun way to spend time outdoors and make a real difference, this is the perfect chance to get involved and help protect our local ecosystem.
Meetup Location: Mountain Lakes House Parking lot, 57 Mountain Ave, Princeton NJ, 08540. Be sure to drive down the long paved driveway entrance to the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve, marked by a series of black mail boxes. The gravel parking lot is on your left about a 1/2 mile down the driveway.
