Give A Hoot for Oxbow – Invasive Plant Removal
June 27 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am
Do you give a hoot for Oxbow? Join us for the Give a Hoot for Oxbow – Invasive Plant Removal on Saturday, June 27th, 2026, from 8:00 AM -10:00 AM!
During this volunteer day, we will be tackling one of our biggest conservation challenges: invasive plant species. This event will focus on cutting/pulling honeysuckle, Japanese chaff flower, Japanese stilt grass, and garlic mustard- all of which will later be replaced with native plants, with a focus on improving wood duck habitat! Register for the event by completing the online form: https://secure.lglforms.com/
