Thank You & Community Chipping Reminder!
Monday, March 23, 2026 at 7:26AM A huge thank you to everyone who came out over this past weekend to pull and clip invasive plants at Fairyslipper Forest!
With 15 amazing volunteers, we cleared approximately 35 m² of Scotch broom (roughly the size of a large living room piled chest-high) along North Cove Road and tackled a few gnarly holly trees in the interior. If you drive by, you might spot the impressive “mountain” in the parking area.
Community Chipping Day - Saturday, March 28
Drop-off: 9:00–11:00 AM
Fairyslipper Forest parking lot
Community members are welcome to bring invasive plants. Chipping is the safest and most effective way to manage invasives - please don’t burn or leave plants on-site, as many can resprout.
No materials with seeds or berries
Suggested donation: $80 per long-box pickup truck load
To help us estimate quantities, please email info@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org if you plan to participate.
