Forest Restoration

Responsibilities: Organize and maintain the native plant propagation area at Rider Park. Duties will change based on the season.

• April-May duties could include planting, mulching, fencing new seedlings, replacing old tree shelters and stakes.
• Jun-August will focus more on invasive plant management, identification, constructing propagation beds or boxes, and perhaps mapping invasive plant stands or areas to restore.
• September-October will focus on collecting seeds, placing seeds in the propagation beds or boxes, and healing the propagation area in with a thick layer of mulch for the winter.

Requirements: Wear hiking boots that have ankle support, wear work gloves, bring extra layers to keep warm while outside, and provide a water bottle.
