Meet Expert Naturalist Wilson Alvarez on May 4

Join us for our first Woodland Stewardship Event

The Soldiers Field Volunteer Brigade is excited to announce our first Woodland Stewardship Event featuring expert naturalist Wilson Alvarez!

Sunday, May 4th 10 AM – 1 PM

Meet at the Borough Office

Wilson Alvarez is a certified permaculture designer, skilled tracker, and nature-awareness instructor with fourteen years of experience teaching bio-intensive agriculture and regenerative technology. He'll be partnering with us to guide the restoration of the woodland areas at Soldiers Field.

This special introductory session will give you the opportunity to:

• Meet Wilson and learn about his approach to woodland restoration

• Gain a new understanding of forest ecosystems

• Discover how healthy woodlands contribute to our community's environmental health

• Observe and potentially participate in hands-on restoration techniques

No experience necessary! While some hands-on work may take place during the session, there's absolutely no obligation to participate—simply attending to learn is welcome.

For those interested in the hands-on portion, please bring loppers, tree saw, or spade if you have them.

Over the past year, the Soldiers Field Volunteer Brigade has made tremendous progress with 12-20 dedicated volunteers showing up regularly to restore this cherished green space to its original glory. Whether you've been with us from the beginning or are curious about joining for the first time, we hope to see you on May 4th!
