Ecological Restoration Workday

Hidden Valley Natural Area

Volunteer with Kansas City WildLands as we go after the dirty rotten scoundrel known as shrub honeysuckle – an exotic plant that is ruthlessly taking over the woodlands and threatening the health of the forest!  We will remove invasive exotic shrub honeysuckle with loppers and handsaws, and stump-treating it to impede future growth.
