Pirone Park: Earth Month Volunteer Opportunity!
Address
CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS! Ages 10 and up
The Nashua River Watershed Association and the Ayer Conservation Commission seek volunteers to assist with planting of native trees and shrubs at Pirone Park in Ayer. We will also be removing invasive plants in the same area. The event will take place from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. This volunteer planting and removal effort will help to improve the ecosystem along the shoreline of Grove Pond. Native trees and shrubs provide habitat for our local pollinators, birds, and other wildlife, as well as helping to stabilize the shoreline and prevent bank erosion.
We’ll meet at 8:45am at 18 Pond Street in Ayer. Some work gloves and tools will be available for use, but if possible, volunteers are asked to bring their own loppers, pruning shears, trowels, small handsaws, and work gloves. Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and a hat; consider bug repellent and sunscreen. Be sure to bring drinking water.
This event is for ages 10 and up. Any participants under 18 years of age need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
This event is hosted by the Nashua River Watershed Association, with support from the US Department of Agriculture, and in partnership with the Ayer Conservation Commission.
Registration is required for planning purposes. Register online today! Thank you!
