grant from TreeVitalize to implement the 2nd
phase of The Roslyn Park Landscape Restoration & Management
Plan. NAM Planning & Design will be directing the
restoration efforts. We need volunteers to assist in the
streambank restoration. The types of tasks we need volunteers
for are: planting small native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and
grasses; putting down wildflower seed; pruning invasive plants;
and repairing the eroded banks. Learn more about your local
watershed and ways to improve it while volunteering on this
important community project.
We will be working RAIN or SHINE, so mark your calendars!
