Earlier this year, over 700 native trees and shrubs were planted at the Thorn Preserve along the Sawkill Creek riparian buffer, in partnership with the DEC Trees for Tribs program.

Join us at the Thorn Preserve to help check up on these native trees and shrubs, and pull encroaching invasive plants! We will be focusing on Oriental bittersweet, Japanese barberry, Multiflora rose, and Canada thistle.

The Catskill Center will provide tools, work gloves and water. You are welcome to bring your own tools (with labels!), and dress for the weather and digging in the dirt.
