HPD HABITAT PARK RESTORATION VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY Oakwoods Nature Preserve is a wonderful park, but is overrun with non-native plant species. Join HPD staff from March through October as we work to restore the beautiful native habitat back into this park. Participants should be prepared to help with various seasonal outdoor tasks such as grapevine cutting, invasive species removal, seed collecting, reseeding, tree guard installation and repair, pruning, weeding, planting, trial maintenance, etc. Please bring work gloves and dress for the weather. Tools will be provided for the activities of the day. If weather is unfavorable for outdoor activities, participants may be able to assist with indoor activities such as animal care, enclosure cleaning, seed cleaning, etc. Registration is required the day prior to each session by calling the HPD Office @ 419-425-7275 (M-F 8am-4:30pm), so we are prepared to contact you with changes due to weather or unforeseen project opportunities.
