Join us as we continue to make progress at the Piper Spit Riparian area. We will continue to remove any invasive plants that we missed earlier in the season and also spread mulch in preparation for planting at the EcoBlitz on October 22.

Come prepared for the weather and wear sturdy footwear as we will be working off the trails. Wear long sleeves and pants to protect yourself from the blackberry thorns. Gloves, tools, equipment and refreshments provided.
