Forest Regeneration Volunteer Workday at South Mountain Reservation (Locust Grove Picnic Area) in Maplewood, NJ on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
Forest Regeneration activities focus on the areas in and around the fenced 14-acre Forest and Wildflower Preserve located near the Dog Park on Bear Lane in the Reservation. On workdays, we focus on removing invasive plants like knotweed, garlic mustard and mugwort. Ages 12 to 15 are welcome with a parent or guardian present. Ages 15 and above require a signature by a parent or guardian on a liability waiver; teenagers cannot just be dropped off. Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes early so we can hike into the Wildflower Preserve at 9 am sharp. Please dress appropriately! There is some poison ivy on trails and in work areas. Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, closed-toe shoes or rain boots, bug spray, and layer as needed. We supply tools. If you have gloves, bring them or you can borrow a pair from us. Bring your own water. You can download a copy of our liability waiver to print, sign and bring to the event. We occasionally use photos of events in promotional materials and social media. By attending the event, I consent to photos of me being used in promotional materials or on social media. For information, contact program co-coordinators Rich Rockwell and Tom Pollard at forestregen@somocon.org To see what's blooming in the Wildflower Preserve, check out our Wildflower Preserve project on iNaturalist. We also have South Mountain Reservation project there, that captures observations from the entire reservation. Meet at the tool sheds at the Dog Park at 12 Bear Lane, Maplewood NJ GPS: 40.739791, -74.289181
