Help rehabilitate the landscape around the Historic Riverview Farm farmhouse at Ivy Creek Natural Area. We will edge, weed, and mulch the formal gardens around the house. We will also remove targeted non-native invasive plants in the newly established meadow and forests near the house. Wear closed-toed shoes and garden gloves. Bring water and the following tools if you have them, but we can also supply them: wheelbarrow, mattock, spade, shovel, garden rake, hand clippers, and your favorite weeding tool.
