After a short Holiday and COVID hiatus, OLC will be resuming its series of winter “Vine Days” to continue the successful campaign against invasive vegetation. Our Preserves have provided a wonderful sanctuary for the past year, and this is a great - and safe - way to help sustain our precious community resource.
This year, the objective is to undertake a focused blitz in the George Lorimer Preserve to build on the successful removal and tree planting efforts along the eastern and western borders. At the same time, there will be an opportunity to perform any needed tube and cage maintenance on the new plantings.
Volunteers get out in the fresh air, help foster a diverse and attractive native eco-system and enjoy the companionship of like-minded neighbors.
All that’s needed are protective clothing, gloves and, if you have them, tools such as loppers, pruners and hand saws to supplement OLC’s supply.
And of course, we will follow all government COVID advisories. In particular – wear your mask and maintain a six foot distance! Please check out our Safety Guidelines and Vine Cutting Instructions.
Mark your calendars!
