Join Heartland Conservation Alliance for our Woodland Restoration Events at the stunning Heartland Overlook Preserve (HOP). Led by Conservation Land Steward Christian Holderby, these events blend learning and hands-on action as you explore HCA’s mission, the Blue River, and the unique ecology of this oak-hickory woodland. You’ll learn to identify plants, understand the impacts of invasive species, and play an active role in restoring this vital 40-acre landscape overlooking the river. We can’t wait to work alongside you!
Join us for a special Woodland Restoration Event on April 25th that will double as a bioblitz as part of the City Nature Challenge.
