Ault Park Advisory Council is working closely with the Cincinnati Parks Conservation & Land Management Team on forest restoration. One of the first things that has been identified as a priority is trail corridor clearance. This work involves cutting back invasive plants such as honeysuckle, privet, and burning bush and treating the stumps. Volunteer Group Leaders will provide an orientation and direct the work.

Volunteers should be prepared for the weather in clothing appropriate for the temperature, wear long pants and layers (long sleeves), close-toed shoes are required. Suggested: work gloves & refillable water bottle. Cincinnati Parks discourages single - use plastics.

General hand tools will be used (loppers and hand saws). Parks Staff and/or Cincinnati Parks Trained Service Persons will be on site to apply pesticide. Tools and supplies will be provided on site.

• Adults over 18 or teens accompanied by a guardian.
• All attendees must be able to hike the trail system unassisted.
• Extreme temps, rain or high winds cancel the workday. Volunteers will be notified via email before the event.
