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.
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.
Everyone aged 10 and up can volunteer! Children 13 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
