Join Midcoast Conservancy and the Sheepscot Knotweed Project for a fun filled day of hands on habitat restoration. As part of our ongoing efforts to restore native floodplain habitat along the Sheepscot River, we will be planting native seedlings along the shoreline. These native plantings will help stabilize the stream bank allowing the river’s floodplain to better weather seasonal events, storms, and regular flooding. As these seedlings grow, they will also provide habitat for animals and help create a permanent riparian buffer along the river.
There are two planting sessions:
9 AM-12 PM and 1-3PM.
You can sign up to attend one or both sessions, and join us for a BYO picnic lunch from 12-1 PM.
Come prepared to work, learn, laugh, and get muddy. We recommend bringing work gloves, a shovel (labeled with your name), waterproof boots, bug protection, snacks, and plenty of water. We will have extra shovels and work gloves to share if needed. If you want to stay for the picnic, please bring a bagged lunch.
All are welcome! Participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
The rain date for this event is Sunday May 3rd.
