The Saugerties Lighthouse Conservancy is seeking volunteers for a tree and shrub planting project on the Hudson River shoreline. Scheduled workdays are Tuesdays, March 21st and 28th, 9-11AM (or longer, if volunteers are willing). A small or large group would be welcome. Volunteers will be taking live cuttings of willows and dogwoods and planting them along the shoreline to prevent erosion and create a vegetated buffer to protect the hiking trail to the lighthouse. We will be planning other workdays in late April and early May as nursery seedlings become available for additional plantings in the Nature Preserve. The project is funded by an Ecological Restoration Grant from Partners for Climate Action Hudson Valley to cover the cost of the plant seedlings.
If you can help out please contact Patrick Landewe at landfaraway@gmail.com or 845-247-0656.
