Join Butler Soil and Water Conservation and Three Valley Conservation Trust at Ruder Preserve. The Preserve is 14 acres bordering Four Mile Creek in Oxford. During this work day, we will tackle some of the following:
* Clear Bush Honeysuckle
* Remove Lesser Celandine
* Pull Garlic Mustard
* Trash pick-up as needed
* Maintenance of current kiosk and boardwalk.
If you have any experience with a drill, or building decks, please let us know. The boardwalk is slowly but surely being extended to accommodate wheelchairs and others with reduced mobility.
Be prepared to get muddy as it is spring time in Ohio
Location: Ruder Preserve on the corner of Shadowy Hills Dr and Bonham Rd in Oxford. There is a tiny parking lot at the entrance, with a much larger lot on Bonham Rd.
What to bring: Work gloves it you have them. If not, we have spare. Other gardening tools such as loppers and weed pullers will be useful, but not necessary.
