If you’re ready to go with the flow, join Wildlands Conservancy to maintain vegetative areas along streams (riparian buffers) and help ensure the survival of young, native trees in the forest buffer. These vital areas improve water quality in local communities, reduce erosion and flooding concerns, and provide habitat for wildlife. Volunteers will maintain tubes placed over the trees to protect them from deer and remove invasive vegetation. Minimum age 16 with adult.
