Work Day at JK Black Oak

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.  We’ll finish up installing the largest deer exclosure that we’ve worked on for the previous two work days.  We’ll also be pulling invasives inside the new fence along with Wavyleaf Basket Grass near the LeSabre pool. Please be aware that you may encounter poison ivy and ticks at the work site.  Long sleeves and pants, gloves and insect repellant are recommended. Additional information and directions to the site will be provided the week of the work day. 20 volunteers needed – volunteers must be at least 16 years old to participate.   Registration required.

Please note: due to the environmentally sensitive habitat and rare species, JK Black Oak is not open for general public access.
