Restore the Highlands: Invasive Species Workshop

Step into the role of a forest guardian for a hands-on morning of habitat restoration. We’ll be joining forces with Dr. Linda Rohleder, founder of the Wild Woods Restoration Project, for a "seek and destroy" mission against the non-native species currently encroaching on the New Jersey Highlands. This interactive workshop at the Nancy Conger West Brook Preserve is designed to help you learn how to identify aggressive invasives while working alongside our experts to clip and pull the plants threatening our local forest understory. It is a unique chance to get your hands dirty while gaining the practical skills to help native habitats thrive, whether on our preserves or in your own backyard.
