Restoration Workday Sunday, June 18: 2-4 PM

by | Jun 15, 2023 | Community, Ecological Restoration, iNaturalist, Volunteers

Dear Friends of the Broughton Nature Preserve,

We will continue clearing invasives (mostly privet and multiflora rose)  from the stream banks along the Blue Trail this Sunday from 2-4PM.

Meet at the entrance to the Blue Trail (direction below).

The weather will be summer-like, but we will be in the valley, in the shade–so it won’t be too hot.  Regardless, wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt and some good hiking boots or shoes.

We will provide the tools, gloves, snacks and good company!

Directions to GWB Complex #1:

 

  1. Enter the GWB Complex #1 off State Route 821.  This is the complex nearest Marietta, just off Route 60.
  2. Drive into the Complex and head left towards the Community Building.
  3. Once you cross the creek, turn right and go as far down as possible.  Park near the YMCA’s furthest building.
  4. We meet at the trailhead of the Blue Trail.
