Volunteer Tree Planting at AOA’s Cackley Swamp Preserve

Join us for a volunteer workday on one of AOA’s beautiful conservation properties.  AOA is sponsoring a volunteer tree planting at our Cackley Swamp restoration site this coming Monday, April 22^nd.  We will be planting areas that have recently been excavated as part of our wetland expansion and restoration activities.

Cackley Swamp is a large and spectacular remnant Teay’s River wetland in Jackson County.  This is a great opportunity to get out and enjoy our natural world and help in the effort to reforest critical habitats.

This is a family-friendly event, so feel free to bring the kids and show them how to plant a tree!  Afterwards, you are welcome to stick around and explore the property.

Time:  Meet at 10:00 a.m.

What to Wear:  Please wear closed-toed shoes, bring water/lunch if desired, and dress appropriately for the weather.   There may be wet or muddy areas depending on recent rains.

What to Bring:  Lunch, snacks and/or drinks of your choice.  Insect repellant is recommended during tick season.
