Westchester Wilderness Walk/Zofnass Family Preserve is a beautiful oasis of biodiversity—and WLT staff and volunteers work hard to keep it this way. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help to keep persistent invasive species at bay while planting and supporting native vegetation to keep this ecological gem sparkling.

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.
