This Saturday (5/14) from 10:00-2:00 Burlington Parks is looking for volunteers for a restoration project at Kieslich Park (also known as 311 North Avenue). Kieslich, a relatively new park, is a heavily disturbed site where we'll be clearing multiple invasive plants and planting early succession trees and shrubs. So bring your heavy duty work gloves, eat your Wheaties, and drink some good strong coffee (!) It will be warm Saturday, so we'll be staying hydrated and hopefully puttin' the hurt on those invasives, and helping to rehabilitate a treasured community resource.

Upcoming Events at Kieslich Park, 311 North Avenue

Forest Rehabilitation, Saturday May 14th from 10am - 2pm

The forested areas at 311 North Avenue are special and important spaces for the plants, animals and humans of the Old North End. Join us for a session with local naturalist, Steven Blaisdell as we learn about the non-native plants present in the park landscape and participate in a service project to remove some of the species.

Community Black Locust Harvest, Wednesday May 18th at 4pm

Join us to learn about the new trail being installed at Kieslich Park! We will be harvesting young black locust trees that will be lost in the trail construction. These trees will be used in a community art project that will honor the lived experiences of the former residents of St. Joseph's Orphanage, as shared through the Voices of St. Joseph's Project. This will be a unique opportunity to work with local artist, Clay Mohrman who is consulting on the design and installation of this project.
