Pilcher Park needs YOU to help restore light and life to the woodland floor!
Join a year-round community dedicated to restoring native diversity to one of the region’s finest original woodlands! If you’re interested in learning the ecological principles and technical skills necessary to help these woods, we’ll teach and mentor.
To restore diversity, the Friends of Pilcher Park cut invasive brush and trees, collect and redistribute seeds of native plants, lead prescribed burns, and more.
Maybe you've been looking for a tangible way to heal the environment, or maybe you’d just like to try something new with kind and passionate people?
Join in! Nature needs you.
