Invasive Species Removal
Our Green Corps are experts at removing invasive species; bush honeysuckle, wintercreeper, tree of heaven, and the rest. We conduct all chainsaw and safety training and ensure their herbicide applicator certifications.
Invasive species removal projects:
Native Plant Propagation
During the late summer, our Green Corps harvests a wide variety of native herbaceous and woody plant seeds. Then, they process and stratify the seeds, and use them later in restoration projects!
Light Up Avondale
In partnership with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, our Green Corps installs LED light bulbs in homes and businesses throughout Avondale.
Community Orchard Building
Through our partnership with The Common Orchard Project, the Green Corps installs biodynamic orchards in underserved communities.
