W.W. Knight Preserve: Restoration with Native Plants & Indigenous Stories

Join the Stewardship Department with a special co-leader, Community and Communications specialist and Cherokee Nation member, Jessie Walton-Summers, at W.W. Knight Preserve for a fun morning of planting native trees and shrubs! For Indigenous Peoples Day, we'll share some cultural stories and relationship between native plants and Indigenous people. The goal of this program is to restore the forest ecosystem behind the nature center where previous Habitat Heroes programs removed large patches of invasive buckthorn. Long pants and long sleeves are recommended. Closed-toed shoes required. Tools, instructions, and snacks provided.
