Syracuse.com - Volunteers needed to help pull invasive plant species at Seneca Meadows/Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge

[HuntingNY-News]

The work also involves planting native species that will be more beneficial to wildlife and less harmful to Montezuma habitats overall.

The following is a press release:

Join the MARSH! volunteer group -- the Montezuma Alliance for the Restoration of Species & Habitats -- to help Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) and NYSDEC biologists, the Montezuma Audubon Center (MAC) and other partners combat invasive species and restore healthy homes for wildlife.

The work is hands-on as we cut and pull invasive species and replant with native species that will be more beneficial to wildlife and less harmful to Montezuma habitats overall. See a previous story I wrote about doing this.

October's MARSH! Volunteer work days will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at the Seneca Meadows Wetland Restoration Site (Black Brook Rd, Seneca Falls, NY), and on Saturday, Oct. 5 at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge (3395 U.S. Route 20 East, Seneca Falls, NY).

Meeting time each day is at 9 a.m. Lunch will be provided by the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex.

To pre-register, call 315/568-5987. You must pre-register at least one day in advance of each workday. For more information about MARSH!, call 315/568-5987 or visit the group's website.
