This natural area is home to beautiful rock outcrops, heritage trees, and attractions like the Bear Dens. However, it needs our help to stay healthy and remain an important park for us and future generations. We hope that by bringing people together to work towards restoring the ecological health of the Long Crouch Woods, we can showcase this area's beauty and potential.

The focus of the event is to remove invasive understory plants, cleanup trash from the site, and build habitat walls with the brush generated, all of which are done to improve overall forest health and increase visibility into the woods. There will be lots of learning opportunities for residents of all ages and backgrounds.

Staff will provide all the tools, supplies, and instruction needed for the project. Please dress in weather-appropriate, comfortable clothes that you are okay with getting dirty, as well as closed-toe shoes. We recommend participants bring their own water, snacks, sunscreen, and bug spray.

The event will happen, rain or shine. We will cancel in the case of extreme weather such as thunderstorms.

We encourage you to bike, walk, or take public transit, but there will be parking available via entry from the Zoo's rear parking lot (see below).

Expect to be utilizing hand cutting tools like loppers and pruners, moving brush, raking, and maybe even kneeling/crouching. We would also love to hear your ideas for future projects!
