You're Invited! Join us as we work to restore health to the beautiful North Branch natural areas. We welcome all who care about the preserves. No need to be experienced, the stewards will provide instructions, tools and usually, a snack to enjoy at mid-workday break!

If you plan to bring a group larger than a half dozen or so, we ask that you contact the steward ahead of time, so that we have plenty of supplies on hand. Click on the workday you’re interested in to get to the page with contact information.
