WINTER 2011-12 Volunteer Opportunities
Registration is required for all programs - register online!
White-tailed Deer Survey
Harford County seems to be experiencing explosive population growth - and not just with humans. So, we need your help to determine if the deer population of Leight Park is a healthy size. Join us and get the scoop on poop as we conduct pellet (deer scat) counts out on the trails to determine how many deer call us home.
Dates: Saturdays, December 10, January 14, February 11
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon
Ages: 16 - Adult
Invasinators
Become a part of the volunteer team of invasive plant removers and native plant restorers. Learn why non-native invasive plants are a threat to our ecosystem, how to identify problem plants, and removal and restoration strategies. Wear sturdy shoes, long sleeves, and work gloves for field work in the Reserve each meeting date. Participants receive an “Invasinators” t-shirt after attending two work days.
Dates: Sunday, January 8 at 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Saturday, February 4 at 2:30 - 4:30 p.m.
Ages: 14 - Adult
Grasses to the Masses
Learn what submerged aquatic vegetation or SAV is, why it is important to the Bay and how you can help restore bay grasses. In this free workshop for volunteers, you will be given instruction, equipment, and plant material to grow SAV in your home. Then, you will join us this spring to plant the SAV in Otter Point Creek. No experience necessary.

Sunday, June 10 at 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. (Planting day)
