Habitat Restoration at Pine Croft Meadow

Pine Croft Meadow Preserve packs a mighty biodiversity punch in a relatively small space. A tiny creek bisects the preserve, where willow and dogwood shrubs slow the pace of the water and allow it to absorb into the ground, providing suitable habitat for wetland species. In the northwest corner of the preserve, towering white pines stand as the sentinels of the preserve—but they need help!

Project:
Join Westchester Land Trust staff in cutting away the vines that have been slowly snaking their way up these majestic trees to ensure they stand guard over the preserve for decades to come.

Accessibility:
Hiking distances will be less than one mile on mowed hiking trails. Project site conditions may include un-mowed vegetation with mostly flat terrain. No experience necessary, all are welcome. Tools and snacks will be provided.
There are no restrooms on site, so please budget extra time if you need to stop for facilities on your way; see this project location's special directions info for the location of the nearest restroom.

Safety:
Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and registered as part of an adult volunteer's team. Please bring a water bottle and wear sun protection, long pants, and closed-toed shoes. Pants tucked into your socks are recommended to avoid ticks and poison ivy.

Registration is required, no drop-ins please. Sign up below!
