Lend a hand creating wood and brush piles for wildlife with recently-cut early successional habitat saplings, and learn about the benefits of brush piles, which provide habitat, cover, and food for many types of wildlife and insects. We will also be clipping small stumps of saplings the mower leaves behind. 

Help us clean up plastics and other trash before they degrade and leach pollution into the lake.

What rodent increases biodiversity wherever they spend their time, creates habitat for myriad other species, provides housing for other animals, shelters fish, and offers nesting sites for birds on the “rooftops” of their homes? Come find out!

With the diminishment of certain kinds of habitat, including convenient holes in old-growth trees, cavity nesting birds may have a harder time finding places to nest. We can help!
