Join environmental educators to learn the impacts invasive plant species have on our local forests. You will learn how to identify and remove different species. These programs will involve being off trail and using different hand tools. Each field day begins at 9am and ends at noon, followed by an optional post-activity. Free admission into Grafton Lakes State Park is given day of volunteering. Please call 518-279-1155 or email [email protected] to register. The best part of the project is you can choose which days and parks you'd like to volunteer! After signing up you will receive our 2026 schedule.
