Earth Week

April 17 - April 23

Earth Week

Come out and celebrate with us during our weeklong conservation event here at Lost River Cave from April 17 through April 23! Join us as we continue our meadow restoration efforts as well as removing invasive plants. Bring family, friends, and co-workers and enjoy the benefits of nature as we help restore habitats here on the park.

“The care of Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility.” – Wendell Berry  

Earth Week Details

Each day we will remove invasive and exotic plants, which encroach on native wildflowers and habitat for wildlife.

The Main Target: Euonymus fortunei a.k.a. Winter Creeper! This commonly used ground cover has been taking over the Valley and is encroaching on the meadow restoration project and surrounding Blue Hole #3. We will spend the week protecting and beautifying these habitats by removing this plant from the area!

This is a rain or shine event. We know superheroes like you are busy, so join us when you can! If you can’t come every day or stay the entire time, no problem.
