Help us kick off the shrubland diversity project at Quakertown! A spot for bird lovers, Quakertown has a wide variety of habitat types across the preserve. This winter, we’re working on removing the woody invasive shrubs to create room for the interesting native shrubs there to thrive. We’ll be targeting species like autumn olive and privet for the benefit of species such as arrowwood, black haw, and dogwoods. 

Stewardship Saturday at Zega-Lockatong Preserve: February 21st, 9 AM – 12 PM (Sign Up)

Raven Rock Rosemont Road, Stockton, NJ (Google Maps)

Zega-Lockatong Preserve is a beautiful primary forest ecosystem along the Lockatong Creek. We will remove trailside invasives before spring, so they don’t get to seed and spread into the rest of the forest as the canopy opens up from Beech Leaf Disease. Come spring, we’ll work to cage sapling regrowth to protect them from deer. During this session, we’ll be primarily removing Japanese honeysuckle, barberry, and multiflora rose.
