SUMMARY:ALT x Pittsburgh Zoo: Girty's Woods Restoration Workday Series 2
DESCRIPTION:Week 2: Invasive Plant Management\n\nRegistration is required so we can communicate in case of any necessary changes. \nEvery Friday throughout the month of May\, ALT is teaming up with the Pittsburgh Zoo to restore wild space in Girty’s Woods. Over the course of five weeks\, we’ll work together to build a trail\, remove invasive plant species\, plant native trees\, and install trail markers and signage. Together we’ll restore a scenic hiking route to a green space that supports native wildlife and promotes the health and wellbeing of its neighbors. \nWeek 2: Volunteers will use loppers\, handsaws\, and shovels to cut down and dig up the invasive tree Japanese Angelica. Under the guidance and supervision of ALT staff\, some volunteers will also apply herbicide to the cut stumps of some trees. The removal of this fast-growing invasive tree species will open the canopy to make way for native plants to grow. \nVolunteers should expect to hike about two miles on varied terrain. Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required. Long sleeves and a brimmed hat are recommended. Tools and gloves will be provided\, but volunteers are welcome to bring their own gear if they prefer. \nWorkdays are rain or shine but will be rescheduled in the event of thunderstorms or high winds. \nTICKETS
