SUMMARY:Work Day at JK Black Oak
DESCRIPTION:JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary is a beautiful 89-acre wildlife preserve located in Lucketts that is owned by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy.  Join us for the first work day of 2025 when we will start on one of two vernal pool restoration projects. 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. \nPlease 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 most likely 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. \nQuestions: Contact Volunteer Coordinator Kim Strader at kstrader@loudounwildlife.org. \nRegistration is full.

SUMMARY:Spring Native Plant Sale at Morven Park

We’ll also have TLC\, a fertilizer and deer deterrent\, to give away. \nThe Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy information booth  has information about some of our programs and how you can volunteer for them. Our Wild Shop will be there with merchandise for sale.  Want to learn more about some of our community partners? Be sure to stop by their booths: Virginia Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation\,  Blue Ridge PRISM\, Banshee Reeks Chapter of Virginia Master Naturalists\, Loudoun Master Gardeners and Wild Ones NoVA. Wild Birds Unlimited will also be at the Sale with nestboxes and poles\, and backyard bird feeding supplies. While you’re browsing\, enjoy coffee and ice cream from the Coffeemania truck. \nNative Plant Talks and Demos – 10:00am-1:00pm\nJoin us at our Native Plant Information Center for talks and demos from native plant experts from 10:00am to 1:00pm. View schedule for talks. Whether you’re new to natives or expanding an existing garden or meadow\, we can tell you about some of our favorites for sun or shade\, wet or dry spots—and more. Plus\, we’ll have native plants and pictures on display to help you decide what you want to add to your home garden’s habitat. \nIf you have boxes for carrying your plants\, please bring them.
