Few preserves in the Westchester Land Trust’s preserve network are as biodiverse and beautiful as the Westchester Wilderness Walk/Zofnass Family Preserve, and WLT staff work hard to keep it this way. Invasive species are persistent and resilient, which is why we need your help removing invasive species and planting and supporting native vegetation. Come along with Conservation Technician Stella and Preserve Manager Ben to learn how to identify native and invasive vegetation, gain new skills in habitat restoration, and connect with nature.
