Team Naturespace – Autumn Forest Stewardship

WHAT / WHY / WHO?

Autumn gives us one of the best windows of the year to care for the forest before winter settles in. We’ll spend the afternoon together at Clement Waters Retreat at Gregory Ridge picking up litter, clearing plants that have grown into the walking trails, and root docking invasive bush honeysuckle while it is still easy to spot its green leaves among the overwintering native vegetation.

This is a good volunteer day for those of us who like being outdoors, working with our hands, and being able to look back at a gathering spot and see what changed because we showed up. Together, we’ll help keep a neighborhood nature space walkable, support healthier forest growth, and prepare the trails for everyone who comes here to walk, reflect, volunteer, and spend restorative time outdoors.
