Join WLT Staff for a volunteer workday to help restore habitat at Otter Creek Preserve.

Does life ever feel like a never-ending carousel of commuting, computer screens, and bills? Do you ever long for the meaningful connections and interactions you see on your favorite comfort shows that you can’t quite seem to find in your day-to-day life? WELL, TIGHTEN THOSE BOOT LACES, BECAUSE YOU JUST FOUND THE RIGHT EVENT!

Join Preserve Manger Ben and Conservation Tech Stella for a day of habitat management at Otter Creek Preserve. Come take a breath of fresh air and find that sweet, sweet release that only sharpened steel can provide you. Cut through the noise (and invasive species) to find your inner peace and make Westchester a little bit more ecologically healthy in the process. Come for the fun and stay for the new friends, lessons learned and connect with the land that we all share.
