Sharon Land Trust volunteer work days are a great way to give back, and enjoy a fun morning of good work for any ability with great people. Can you help? Interested volunteers will need to prepare for work by dressing weather appropriately, wearing work pants and solid boots, and bringing gloves if they have them. The land trust will provide gloves if they don’t. No experience is required for this work, and the land trust will give a tailgate safety talk beforehand and training in the field. Please register as a volunteer if you haven’t already. Take a look at our trailwork resources page for more information. We’ll break for a nice lunch at a beautiful spot at the end of each work morning for anyone interested. Email timhunter@sharonlandtrust.org to sign up.
Villains In Your Backyard: Practical Strategies for Managing Invasives on Your Land
This workshop takes a deeper dive into invasive plants and how to manage them effectively and responsibly. Co-presented by Michael Nadeau and regional conservationist and tree preservationist Tom Zetterstrom, the session will cover best management practices both with and without herbicides. Drawing on real-world conservation and land management experience, the presenters will discuss when different approaches are appropriate, their benefits and limitations, and how homeowners can make informed decisions when tackling invasive species on their own properties.
