Foraging Forest - April 2nd - Mark your calendars!

Come explore a special area in Hopewell Park and join us in celebrating God’s creation!  Among other responsibilities as children of God, we are called to cherish, protect, and restore this Earth, God’s creation and gift to us all. In honor of Earth Day, the Engaging in Justice and Service Ministry is partnering with the Sourland Conservancy to assist with ongoing restoration work in a foraging forest within Hopewell Park.  Learn more and be sure to view the 2 min video here! : https://sourland.org/foraging-forest/.    For this event, we’ll be helping to remove invasive Japanese honeysuckle and expanding the meadow/preparing the ground, so Hopewell Elementary students can plant native wildflowers later this spring.  

Date: Saturday April 2nd   Rain date: April 9th (Gather in Fellowship at 8:45 AM to walk over and begin work at 9:00 AM. If you need to arrive later, reach out to Anne Hayton for directions)

What to Bring: work gloves, pruning shears/clippers (if available), sturdy footwear/boots, water, hat and sunscreen.

Join us in experiencing and fostering the foraging forest in Hopewell Park for all to enjoy. For more information, please contact Anne Hayton (609) 466-0543.  We hope to see you there!
