Donate to Restore Our Woodland Habitat
Improving accessibility and safety on the upper trail means further removal of plants and the occasional tree along the top of the wall. When the work is complete, we will at long last be able to restore the woodland and meadow habitats along the perimeter. Our goal is to ensure that we give local species, including native trees and shrubs, a head start. This will invite more varied wildlife, including migratory birds, to visit or make a home in the Reservoir. To do this, we need to hire a landscape architect to run tests and create a plan. Any level of support for this project will bring us one step closer to our goal. Click the “Donate Now” button below, and mark your calendar for our May 13th Hudson Gives fundraising marathon!
