Conservation and Land Management

Join members of Friends of Kennedy Heights Park, Kennedy Heights Community Council, Friends of French Park, and Pleasant Ridge Community Council as we learn about and improve Kennedy Heights Park and French Park.

Our focus will be more on increasing our understanding of all the plants and animals that live in our parks rather than focusing on a few invasive plants that need to be removed (we will still remove them). Everything we learn will be usable whenever you spend time outdoors - whether it’s working in your yard, choosing what plants to put in your yard, just enjoying the outdoors, or you’re out hiking and you encounter a plant you’ve never seen before. We will start learning how and increase our ability to identify everything we encounter, regardless of season.

Join in the efforts hosted by The Friends of LaBoiteaux Woods (CPAC) to improve the state of the natural resources this forest offers. 

Spring events: Garlic Mustard pulling, Winter Creeper and other invasive vines pulling/cutting.

Fall events: Honeysuckle cutting, breaking down, treating of stumps (trained service persons only), trail clearing. Occasionally planting of native trees/plants.
