Land Stewardship at Bear Run Nature Reserve
Location
Activity: Meadow maintenance (shrub control)
There is a paved parking lot, but otherwise, plan for a rustic day, rain or shine! (If the workday is canceled, a message will be sent immediately to the land steward email list.) Tools will be provided. Please bring work gloves if you have them, comfortable outdoor clothing appropriate for the weather, sturdy shoes that might get muddy, and drinking water. Bathrooms are available for use at the Barn.
Located in the Laurel Highlands, Bear Run Nature Reserve offers hiking trails, backcountry campsites and hunting and fishing opportunities.
Bear Run Nature Reserve provides habitat for a diversity of forest-dwelling wildlife, including black bear, fisher, bobcat and more than 53 bird species. More than 500 plant species have been found on the preserve.
Unless otherwise noted, we’ll meet at 9 am at the preserve and work until around 2. Workdays are typically held rain or shine. If a workday is cancelled, a message will be sent immediately to the land steward email list (the website may not be updated for a day or so). For additional information, please visit the Current Volunteer Opportunities section of our website, WaterLandLife.org, or contact Andrew Zadnik (azadnik@paconserve.org; 412-586-2318).
