STEWARDSHIP SATURDAYS

Join Hunterdon Land Trust for Stewardship Saturdays at our public access preserves! Our team will join you at one of our preserves to accomplish stewardship tasks, ranging from trail upkeep to invasive species removal to wildlife monitoring. No prior knowledge or experience is required – just enthusiasm to care for our natural lands! These workdays are also a great chance to learn more about joining our Preserve Stewards volunteer program.

Volunteers are advised to wear closed-toe shoes and long sleeves, and are invited to bring their own work gloves, loppers, and pruners if they have them. Some items we can supply to you if you need them. RSVP to HLT’s Stewardship Coordinator, Sarah Crosby: (908) 237-4582, sarah@hunterdonlandtrust.org.

Dates/times/locations are subject to change – subscribe to our mailing list or follow us on social media to be kept up to date.

Stewardship Saturday at Idell Preserve

April 25th, 9 AM-12 PM (Sign Up)

50 Barbertown Idell Rd, Frenchtown, NJ 08825 (Google Maps)

Help plant trees at Idell! We will be planting maple and blackgum trees, along with a diversity of native shrubs and wildflower seed, to fill in where invasive species were removed along the trail. We’ll also check out and tend to last year’s plantings, which are thriving! Wear good boots & bring work gloves if you have them.

Stewardship Saturday at Dvoor Farm

May 9th, 9 AM-12 PM (Sign Up)

111 Mine St, Flemington, NJ 08822 (Google Maps)

Help get the meadows at Dvoor ready for prime time! We’ll be checking tree tubes for winter mortality, swapping some out for cages to allow for greater growth, and removing invasives around them. We’ll also explore and work on the meadow that was winter seeded in December to see what plants have started coming up. Bring work gloves if you have them.
