A huge THANK YOU to the Embarras Volunteer Stewards for all their help this morning! We cleared out hundreds of bush honeysuckle shrubs! 😀🌿

As we cleared out, we uncovered small oaks and a catalpa tree🌳

Want to volunteer with us? Visit: dhnature.org/volunteer for more information!

10/10/2026

For our volunteer event today 10am-noon, we will now be doing honeysuckle removal instead of tree planting. We will now have tree planting dates in November instead, due to the trees having a new delivery time. Thanks for understanding! 🌳😀🌿
