This annual boundary walk is important to help us maintain our preserve.
Help Tenafly Nature Center conduct a Boundary Walk to ensure that the borders of the preserve are being properly maintained, that no encroachments of the preserved space have occurred, and that any litter accumulated along the boundary (near homes and streets) is removed. This walk is done prior to spring growth, when trees are free of leaves and the terrain is clear.
Meet in the TNC education pavilion, for location assignments and supplies. The event will be held entirely outdoors, so please dress appropriately. Please wear sturdy walking shoes and bring work gloves for the off-trail litter pick up components. Smartphones will be needed to document findings.
Register today and please let us know how many volunteers to expect so that we can plan appropriately for gear.
All hours are eligible for school volunteer requirements.
Training will be provided.
