About this project
During the event, volunteers will work together to remove invasive woody species and restore the park’s natural landscape. The woody debris collected will be transformed into a valuable soil amendment called biochar using large, specialized kilns. By removing invasive vegetation, volunteers will help create space for a new nature trail that will provide residents with greater access to nature and outdoor recreation. The biochar produced during the event will also have a lasting impact beyond John Muir Park. It will be used to support tree plantings and other restoration projects throughout Green Bay, extending the environmental benefits of this one-day volunteer effort into the future.
