Once removed\, these areas will revert to open fields of native wildflowers and grasses the very next growing season (2026). I will show you examples of recent successes as we walk to the work sites. \nYou should wear long pants\, long-sleeved shirt or jacket\, work gloves and sturdy shoes/boots (hiking boots are fine). Bring your favorite loppers or use ours. We will supply work gloves for those who need them\, loppers (we have 7) and Buckthorn Blaster herbicide applicators. We work in teams of 3 or 4\, taking turns cutting the trees near the ground\, moving the cut trees to create ‘wildlife piles’\, and applying herbicide to the cut stumps. We will have bottled water (or bring your own) and packaged snacks. \nIf you can join us\, please RSVP to info@clevelandaudubon.org so we know how many to expect. We will meet at 8:45am in the parking lot at 382 Townline Road in Aurora. We will be there for 3-hours but if you can only help for 1 or 2 hours\, we appreciate the time you can help.
