Description

Wesley Hill is the Land Trust’s westernmost nature preserve and one of its most spectacular!  This popular preserve features a nice mix of mature forest, open meadows, and scenic vistas.  Your help is needed  for a variety of tasks which may include invasive species management, trail stabilization, and stone step installation.  This preserve has two parking areas — we will be meeting at the parking area on Wesley Road at the yellow trailhead.

A work session will be held from 2:00-4:30 pm, followed by a social hour from 4:30-5:30 – light refreshments and snacks will be provided!  Please wear sturdy footwear, and clothes that you do not mind getting dirty.  We will provide tools and work gloves, but feel free to bring your own if you have a favorite pair.
