Celebrate Earth Month with a day of service at Broadmoor!
Spend your morning helping with invasive plant removal as part of Mass Audubon’s Statewide Volunteer Day. We will be removing large clumps of buckthorn from our bench/overlook area in the Old Orchard Meadow. We have large clumps of buckthorn that have been mowed many times and have a lot of mature stump sprouts. This has created large clumps that need to be removed, which will require digging out the large root ball and help to transport it to the nearby dumping area. We'll appreciate the volunteer help with this task!
Bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated; we’ll have light snacks ready to keep you energized.
Due to the physical nature of our project and the tools we’ll be using, this project is only for adult volunteers aged 18 and older.
