    Description

    Volunteer for Nature at Leslie Woods Nature Area

    Register at: https://nap.a2gov.org/A2LeslieWoods

    Get outside, shed the tension of the week, and give back to the local ecology! All you have to do is show up to the historically intact woodland at Leslie Woods Nature Area for a stewardship workday, where you will help tackle invasive shrubs. (You don’t actually have to tackle anything!) Staff of Natural Area Preservation (NAP) will guide volunteers in identifying and cutting down shrubs and share knowledge about the beautiful landscape. (Again, no tackling involved!) Meet at Willowtree Apartment tennis courts. Volunteers will use hand tools to cut small-to-medium shrubs. Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail.

    Preregister through VolunteerHub so NAP can plan on enough staff and supplies for a safe and successful event. For your safety, wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes. All minors should be accompanied by a guardian. More information: How to prepare for a NAP workday (PDF).
