Join SHLT in celebrating Earth Day with a volunteer work party at the South Hero Recreation Park, next to Folsom. The goal for the day is to do maintenance on last year's tree seedlings to ensure maximum survival, proactively cut and bag invasive buckthorn, and pull out invasive honeysuckle to give the seedlings a chance. Later in the spring we will do another tree planting to expand the restoration area.

The Rec Park is home to about 5 acres of ash woodlands which are at risk from the emerald ash borer. We expect 99% of the ash to perish in the next 5 years, so in 2023 SHLT initiated a comprehensive ecological restoration project at the park to protect the future of this town asset.
