Stewardship Saturday at Zega Preserve

Join Hunterdon Land Trust for Stewardship Saturdays at our public access preserves! Our team will join you at one of our preserves to accomplish stewardship tasks, ranging from trail upkeep to invasive species removal to wildlife monitoring. No prior knowledge or experience is required – just enthusiasm to care for our natural lands! These workdays are also a great chance to learn more about joining our Preserve Stewards volunteer program.

In February, we'll be at Zega-Lockatong Preserve, a beautiful primary forest ecosystem along the Lockatong Creek. We will remove trailside invasives before spring, so they don’t get to seed and spread into the rest of the forest as the canopy opens up from Beech Leaf Disease. Come spring, we’ll work to cage sapling regrowth to protect them from deer. During this session, we’ll be primarily removing Japanese honeysuckle, barberry, and multiflora rose.
