Roslindale Wetlands Serve and Learn
Join the Roslindale Wetlands Taskforce and the Urban Wilds Program in this spring's Serve and Learn event! Register below.
A Serve and Learn event is a special chance for community members to learn about wildlife, plants, and how we can care for our natural world. Not only can people "learn" through these events, but they can also put their newfound knowledge to work during the "serve" portion.
In this Serve and Learn, Urban Wilds staff will lead lessons on proper tree and shrub planting techniques as well as discuss the insect and mammal species these plants will support. Volunteers will get the chance to plant trees and shrubs in a few locations on site that were previously inhabited by invasive plants.
Planting tools and gloves will be supplied, but if you have a favorite planting tool or pair of gloves, feel free to bring them!
* Please note that due to the involved nature of plant installation, staffing capacity, and the limited amount of space in the planting areas, we cannot guarantee that all volunteers will have the opportunity to plant. We will be monitoring the sign-ups and will offer up planting slots on a first come first basis. In addition to the planting, we will also offer an invasive plant removal component for volunteers that are interested.
Saturday, April 11th, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (rain date Sunday April 12)
Meet at the Coniston Rd trailhead (see map below)
