Add Event

Join us on Saturday, October 8 from 9 -11 am for a morning of volunteer work at the Chau Ram Expansion, a protected property adjacent to the Chau Ram County Park in Oconee County.

Participants will help remove invasive plant species and litter from this property protected by the City of Westminster and Upstate Forever. Participants are welcome to bring shears, saws, and gloves, though gloves and tools will also be provided. Volunteers will learn about the basic biology of invasive plants and why they are threatening the natural resilience of ecosystems and will also learn about the site's history and how it came to be protected by a conservation easement. 

Due to limited parking available, the number of volunteers will be capped at 20.
