Help support healthy forests while learning how invasive species change throughout the year during this hands-on volunteer event with the Catskill Center's Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP). Volunteers will work in an off-trail area to help install protective tree tubes around native saplings planted earlier this season to reduce deer browsing, while learning proper tool use and safety techniques from the CRISP team.
