SUMMARY:Native Forest Bee Habitat Restoration at Great Mountain Forest
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers can support native bee habitat and contribute to ongoing scientific research during a native-species planting event at Great Mountain Forest in Norfolk. The hands-on workday is part of a five-year study examining how healthier\, more diverse forests and restored understory habitats can support native bee populations. \nThe volunteer event will take place on Tuesday\, September 29\, 2026\, with a rain date of Thursday\, October 1. Participants can choose between a two-hour shift from 10 am to noon or a four-hour shift from 10 am to 2 pm. Participation is limited to approximately 10 volunteers\, and registration is required. All participants must sign a Xerces Society volunteer waiver. \nTools and gloves will be provided.

Great Mountain Forest is one of several Northeast sites participating in the study\, which will monitor plant establishment and bee activity over five years. \nTo reserve a spot\, register at https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/aphasak.
