Description

Come join park stewards and our partners at The Trustees to help with landscape and ecosystem management atop the beautiful drumlins of World's End! We will explore the local flora and fauna and discuss the ecology, natural history, and cultural significance of landscapes in the park as we work side by side to improve habitat for the native birds, bugs, trees, and flowers of the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park.

Registration is required for these events.
