Description
Sugarcreek MetroParks offers diverse habitats that can be discovered as visitors hike, horseback ride, run the trails, exercise your pets or enjoy a leisurely picnic. Come volunteer alongside staff and volunteers as we work to preserve Sugarcreek MetroParks diverse habitat. Your participation in an Adopt-A-Park volunteer service project allows MetroParks to continue its mission to protect the region's natural heritage and provide outdoor experiences that inspire a personal connection with nature.
Impact
To preserve this diversity of habitats, parklands are carefully managed to preserve and protect native plant and animal communities of the Miami Valley. Non-native invasive species, such as honeysuckle, compete with or eliminate native plant species and are controlled with mowing, and, in some cases, controlled treatment with herbicides. Volunteer support helps to expand our efforts in protecting our region's natural heritage.
Tasks
Under the supervision of the assigned staff, volunteers will support and assist with the following:
Removing honeysuckle from Sugarcreek MetroPark. Volunteers will be using pruners, loppers, and hand saws.
