Stewardship Saturday at Peddocks Island

Come join park biologists and volunteer stewards for a Stewardship Saturday at Peddocks Island! Help us protect native trees from deer browse to promote tree recruitment. We will explore the local flora and fauna and discuss the ecology, natural history, and cultural significance of landscapes in the park as we work to understand and improve habitat for the native birds, bugs, trees, and flowers of the Boston Harbor Islands.

Registration is required for these events.

See a Day as a Park Steward for what it’s like to join us!
