SUMMARY:Strike Team Community Field Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Strike Team Community Field Workshop\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us for our 5th annual Community Field Workshop! It will be hosted by Monmouth County Parks on June 1st at Huber Woods. The goal of this event is to showcase model volunteer stewardship efforts that we hope will inspire and teach volunteers and all land stewards across the state. This event is rain (indoors) or shine (outdoors). Sandwiches and refreshments will be served.  \nAbout the site:Huber Woods Park\, 390 acres of preserved forests and meadows overlooking the Navesink River\, features a diverse habitat that provides resources for unique wildlife species. However\, due to past agricultural disturbance and the dieback of native ash trees\, invasive plant species such as porcelain berry\, multiflora rose\, and mugwort began to proliferate. Recent ecological restorations are a collaboration between natural & historic resources staff\, park rangers\, naturalists\, private contractors\, and most importantly\, the dedicated volunteers of the Monmouth County Invasive Plant Strike Force. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\nThis event is FREE
