Volunteer Work Day in Garth Nature Area

About the Event

On Sunday, April 7th, Missouri Conservation Corps will host its first volunteer work event in Columbia’s Garth Nature Area.  Our fledgeling event in this north Columbia park will run from 2 p.m.-5 p.m. We will meet in the parking lot of Garth Nature Area, 2799 North Garth at 2 p.m.  Volunteer work will consist of cutting and pulling invasive honeysuckle using loppers, hand saws and hand pulling.  Like all of our volunteer events, Missouri Conservation Corps will provide the tools, gloves, training and management.  Volunteers are asked to bring work clothes, sturdy footwear and a water bottle.  Garth Nature Area is a 52 acre public green space in north Columbia, and is intersected by Bear Creek and by the Bear Creek Trail.  Future work days in this area will also focus on habitat improvement and trail building in nearby Proctor Park with members and volunteers from Columbia’s COMO Trail Association.

Those wishing to volunteer at this event are asked to register by emailing MCC Project Director Stephen Bybee at [email protected]
