Plants, Trails, Drinks

Be a part of the North Branch Trail's southern extension and create some real roots and connections. We'll join local Site Stewards, Habitat 2030 and The Out Our Front Door Organization to plant native shrubs. After we'll jump over to Hopleaf for some brews.

LaBaugh-Hernandez Woods is an important site for migratory birds, and the restoration of native shrubs provides food and shelter. We'll help plant these shrubs! Be prepared to get dirty, as some of us will dig, others will mulch and water. Almost all of us will have our hands and knees in the mud. It's a dirty business! Most of the hardware and gloves will be provided.
