Cancelled: Work Day at JK Black Oak

This work day has been cancelled.  The next work day will be August 10.

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 being working on habitat restoration projects, keeping to the shade as much as possible. 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.   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 may 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.
