Join us for a campus landscaping clean-up afternoon to help clear brush and fallen branches, making the preserve safer and easier for students to explore. Dads and handy grown-ups — bring your chainsaws and tools and help us care for this special outdoor space.

Larger branches may be repurposed into fort-building materials for the playground, while smaller limbs will be stacked into wildlife-supporting brush piles away from the fence. All work will follow oak-wilt and power-tool safety guidelines. Let’s work together to make a lasting impact!
