Rescheduled: Work Day at JK Black Oak
April 6 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Due to mud and standing water in the parking lot and work area, this work day is being rescheduled to April 20. If you registered for the work day and are able to come on April 20 instead, please email Kim Strader to let her know.
JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary is a beautiful 89-acre wildlife preserve located in Lucketts. Loudoun Wildlife purchased the property in 2020 to preserve this globally rare wetland, which is home to a wonderful diversity of unique species. Join us for the first work day of 2024 when we will be clearing invasives for the meadow restoration project that began in December 2023. Additional information and directions to the site will be provided a couple of days before the event. Due to the environmentally sensitive habitat and rare species, JK Black Oak is not open for general public access. 20 volunteers needed – volunteers must be at least 16 years old to participate. Registration required.
Please note: Work days require physical activity, which may be strenuous, such as digging and sawing in weedy, overgrown areas. Please be aware that poison ivy and ticks may present. Long sleeves and pants, gardening gloves and insect repellant are recommended. The area where we will be working will be wet and muddy so please wear appropriate shoes or boots. If you do not enjoy working in these types of conditions, you should seek out other volunteer opportunities.
Questions: Contact Volunteer Coordinator Kim Strader at kstrader@loudounwildlife.org.
Registration is closed.
