About Volunteering with FOPOS: Volunteers will perform ecological restoration work, including removing invasive species and freeing trees from vines. The dense cover formed by invasive plants degrades habitat quality and prevents young tree saplings from growing into future canopy trees. We will be using pruners, loppers, and hand saws to cut back invasive shrubs and vines. Dress warmly for working outdoors. Volunteers will learn land stewardship skills, including identifying invasive species and using tools safely. We can provide confirmation of community service hours.
