Volunteers are needed to help clean up Burnett Woods in anticipation of spring! Help with trash pick up and some invasive plant removal. This is one of our best preserves for early spring wildflowers. We’ve recently added duckboard to the trails in hopes of enabling wet-weather nature walks.

Please RSVP so we know to expect you.

All ages are welcome.

What to Expect and Bring:

• Dress in long pants thick enough to stand up to thorns, brush, poison ivy, ticks, and mosquitos (unfortunately leggings aren’t very protective). Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
• Wear closed-toed shoes that can stand up to mud.
• Athletic shoes may be too slippery on the duckboards.
• Bring gardening or work gloves. If you don’t have gloves, we will provide some.
• Dress for the weather as we will work rain or shine.
• Public restrooms not available.
• In case of inclement weather, check email for updates.

Directions:

The address is 8264 E County Road 100 S Avon, IN 46123. Parking is available at Light and Life Methodist Church, 8264 E. County Road 100 South, which is next door to the preserve. Park behind the church in the back row and walk in a southeastern direction across the grass toward the road. The trailhead is near the road, behind the preserve sign.
