Volunteer for Nature at Black Pond Woods Nature Area

Register at: https://NAP.a2gov.org/A2BlackPondWoods

Experience the ecological mystery of Black Pond at this stewardship workday! Just kidding, the mystery is tannins. Don’t know what tannins are? You’ll find out while removing invasive shrubs at Black Pond Woods Nature Area! Cutting shrubs with hand tools is a straightforward activity and Natural Area Preservation (NAP) staff will have your back the whole time. The pond and its surrounding habitats contribute to the high biodiversity in this park, and you can help keep it that way. Meet at the park entrance on Tibbits Ct, off Pontiac Trail. 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).
