Ecological Restoration Underway
Ecological restoration is underway on roughly one acre within Buttonbush Woods to reestablish a native sedge meadow that is being overtaken by sycamore trees.
Restoring this open meadow habitat is vital for native flora and fauna, as sedge meadows provide specialized plants with the light and hydrology they require, while offering food, shelter, and breeding grounds for insects, birds, amphibians, and other small mammals. This work helps to establish and preserve biodiversity, support pollinators, and strengthen the overall health and resilience of Buttonbush Woods.
Snowy Owl Foundation Assists in Buttonbush Clean-Up
River Heritage Conservancy is excited to announce a $ 2,672 grant from the Snowy Owl Foundation to support restoration in Buttonbush Woods, a 103-acre forest and one of Origin Park’ s most ecologically important natural areas.
This funding helps our team remove invasive species, including bush honeysuckle and wintercreeper, which increasingly threaten the health and biodiversity of the forest. By protecting native plants and enhancing wildlife habitat, these efforts ensure the forest remains a healthy, accessible, and welcoming natural space for all visitors to enjoy.
