Presented with support from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.
Join us in caring for our shared environment through hands-on ecological restoration. Healthy ecosystems depend on a rich diversity of native plants and wildlife, yet invasive species can disrupt these natural relationships and reduce habitat quality. Through Habitat Renewal Days, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about local ecosystems, connect with others who care about the land, and make a tangible contribution to creating healthier, more resilient landscapes for both people and nature.
Habitat Renewal Day 1: Making Space for Nature
August 11, 2026 | 9am – 1pm
Help kick off the restoration process by tackling invasive Phragmites, a species that can quickly outcompete native plants and reduce biodiversity. Participants will receive hands-on training before working together to crimp and tarp plants, remove seed heads, and help prevent further spread. Along the way, you’ll learn about invasive species management and contribute directly to the recovery of this important habitat.
Habitat Renewal Day 2: Planting for the Future
September 8, 2026 | 9am – 1pm
Return to the site and help bring new life to the landscape. Together, we’ll plant more than 400 native trees, shrubs, and wetland plants that will support wildlife, strengthen biodiversity, and help the ecosystem recover for years to come. Participants will assist with planting, watering, and site preparation while learning how native species contribute to healthy and resilient habitats.
No experience is necessary. Training, tools, and guidance will be provided for both events. Join us for one event or both and be part of a community effort to restore native habitat and care for the landscapes we all share.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, whose investment makes these community stewardship events possible. Their support helps provide the tools, training, and resources needed to restore native habitat while creating opportunities for community members to take an active role in caring for the environment.
