What: As part of a grant, Wood Lake has received funding to enhance a section of forest with native woodland flowers, grasses, and sedges. With your help, small potted plants will be transplanted and watered in order to increase the diversity of plants in the park. This enhancement will benefit birds and other wildlife that call Wood Lake home!
Other important details:
All gloves and equipment needed for the planting will be provided. Additionally, drinking water and granola bars will be available.
All that folks will need to bring is an outfit for being in the woods that they won't mind getting a little dirty!
