Cincinnati Parks is working in a collaboration with Walnut Hills High School, the Civic Garden Center, Evanston Community Council and hundreds of community and corporate volunteers on a habitat restoration project on a woodland area adjacent Walnut Hills High School. This is a long term project with an end goal of eradicating invasive plants, planting native plants, building trails and eventually creating an outdoor land lab. The Walnut Woods Board hopes to be able to eventually include the project in the curriculum for students in the coming school years. Volunteers should wear clothes appropriate for the weather and for cutting and clearing brush. Sturdy shoes required. Meet in front of the school.

WHEN

Saturday, December 14, 2019 from 09:00 am to 12:00 pm  

WHERE

at Avon Woods Nature Center, 4235 Paddock Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45229, USA

This is the first in a series of quarterly service projects to control invasive species in an effort to restore the habitat at Avon Woods Nature Preserve. Additional dates in March & June.
Non - native plants such as honeysuckle and porcelain vine grow aggressively in this climate and create real problems for our native ecosystem. These invasive plants choke out the natural growth of native plants that provide more for a healthy under story and more for local wildlife. There are also safety concerns, as these plants grow fast and thick, and obstruct sight-lines in public areas. Poison Ivy also grows in these parks, please be cautious and aware of your surroundings.

Volunteers should be prepared for the weather in lightweight clothing, wear long pants and layers (long sleeves), close-toed shoes are required. Suggested: refillable water bottle - there will be water cooler on site for volunteers to fill a bottle. Cincinnati Parks discourages single - use plastics.

With the seasons change, tree planting season is upon us and time is dwindling. Having put lots of trees in already, a final push is warranted. Having most of it developed already allows for a learning lesson of it all as we finish off the last parts. It will mainly be fruit trees lining the coast of treasure lake, further adding to this gem of a site and resource. Below is the list we planted and what is ahead.

32 paw paw seedlings
• 4 chestnuts
• 5 more hazelnuts
• 4 nectarine
• 4 blackberry
• 2 elderberry
• 1 mulberry to compliment a nearby one
• 2 carolina all spice
• 2 witch hazel
• 2 vernal witch hazel
• 2 goumi
Still to go is the following:
• 3 peach
• 4 pear
• 4 elderberry
• 4 jujube
14 Paw Paw

Come and enjoy community action and learn from this unique food forest planting. We will be digging terraces, sheet mulching, caging, the trees, and giving them compost and water to send them into their new homes.
