Join us at this invasive plant workshop to get hands-on experience clearing invasive plants and help us in the effort to replace invasives with native species in our community.

Stout Family Fields is one of our most visited preserves; if you haven’t been yet, spring is a great time to check it out. Over the past three years, TRLC volunteers spent more than 100 hours clearing invasives from around the wetland copse (The Island) in the southern field. In 2024, we planted native species there and in 2025, we hired a contractor to remove invasives from the banks of the brook between the two fields. Last year, we also planted sycamore seedlings from the Pinchot Sycamore on The Island.

On this day we will be removing the remaining invasives left between the fields before our contractor plants more native species there this spring. Bring water, loppers and work gloves, and wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, bug spray and sunscreen. Park at the end of Stone Hill Road.
