Conservation & Land Stewardship - Pleasant Ridge/Kennedy Heights Community Nature Advocates
Join members of Friends of Kennedy Heights Park, Kennedy Heights Community Council, Friends of French Park, and Pleasant Ridge Community Council as we learn about and improve Kennedy Heights Park.
Our focus will be more on increasing our understanding of all the plants and animals that live in our parks rather than focusing on a few invasive plants that need to be removed (we will still remove them). Everything we learn will be usable whenever you spend time outdoors - whether it’s working in your yard, choosing what plants to put in your yard, just enjoying the outdoors, or you’re out hiking and you encounter a plant you’ve never seen before. We will start learning how and increase our ability to identify everything we encounter, regardless of season.
All events will include native plant encouragement, invasive removal, and litter pickup.
Meet at the main parking lot off Kennedy Ave.
