IVY PULL AT SEYMOUR RIVER HERITAGE PARK

Help restore a small park adjacent to Maplewood Farm. This park contains a salmon-bearing creek and is a gem of a park tucked away next to the Seymour River. Remove ivy and prepare the area for local native plants. Please choose a one-hour time slot - there will be two families per time, and we ask that families bring their own shovels and gloves to the workshop. We also ask that families be prepared to distance from one another.
