SUMMARY:Volunteer - Nurture Nature
DESCRIPTION:Love nature and want to lend her a helping hand? Grab gloves and join fellow volunteers in removing invasives\, nurturing native plants\, or restoring habitat. Projects vary\, but good fun (and dirt) is guaranteed! Natural Lands cares for more than 23\,000 acres and 120 miles of trails\, and we couldn’t do it without volunteers like you. \nVolunteering with Natural Lands is a great way to learn more about the natural world\, give your time to a great cause\, and connect with enthusiastic\, like-minded people. \nThe health and safety of staff and volunteers is our highest priority during this volunteer event. Please review “before you go” details. \nCapacity is limited for this small-group event. If you sign-up\, please show up. If you need to cancel\, please let us know so another volunteer can attend. All are welcome\, ages 12 and up. Minors age 12-17 must be accompanied by an adult and registered in the same transaction as their guardian.

SUMMARY:The Abundant Life of Dead and Dying Trees
DESCRIPTION:Most people are familiar with the innumerable benefits of living trees. But\, even after their death\, trees provide vital habitat\, shelter\, and food for wildlife. Join us as we learn how dead and dying trees still teem with life\, from tiny termites to fantastic flying squirrels and everything in between. This program will begin inside with a lecture and discussion\, and then move outside to explore how Stoneleigh incorporates snags and logs into the garden. \nThis program is presented in conjunction with Morris Arboretum and has been approved to carry 2.5 CEUs from ISA\, LA CES\, and the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts. \n \n register now \n through Morris Arboretum’s offical website. \n
