Ecological Restoration (plug planting) at Arcadia Marsh

Ecological Restoration (plug planting) at Arcadia Marsh

Come on out to help plant native plugs at the Arcadia Marsh Nature Preserve! Volunteers will learn about and take an active part in the Conservancy’s ongoing habitat restoration projects by assisting with planting native plugs grown in GTRLC’s very own greenhouse.

GTRLC will supply all materials necessary for the workday. We will teach you everything you need to know to properly plant our native species. No prior experience is necessary! This is a moderately light, family-friendly activity, though volunteers should be prepared for digging and kneeling. There is a restroom available at the St. Pierre end of the Marsh, but no drinking water on site.

What will volunteers be doing:
Learning about our ongoing restoration and greenhouse projects
Digging and dibble bar usage
Removing and handling native plugs from their containers

Please meet us at the M22 side of Arcadia Marsh Nature Preserve.
