Native Tree planting and Remediation, Trail making, Native perennial plantings
♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
This is a new park "Hundred Acres Nature Park" in the town of Rush that runs along the Genesee River. We will be planting trees late into the fall of 2025, We need help in October and November digging holes for about 100 trees and making cages. In general, we can also use help in clearing some trails, and helping newly planted trees with watering, mulching and caging, as well as clearing some logs off trails and making markers for trails. Go to https://www.rushrpa.org and then click on events for details about our work parties! Opportunities to join bird walks, learn about invasives, bats, and native plants can also be part of the experience. We are looking for people who might help us design and build some small bridges. 60% of the park is forest, some old growth. The other 40% are fields that we are re-wilding in an effort to build a food forest for native birds, pollinators and wildlife. We are building native perennial beds to be a show case for native planting and encourage everyone to plant some native species in their yard to create a corridor for pollinators, birds, and all wildlife!
