Conservation Landscape Project at Merrimac Farm
Contact: Kim Hosen, Prince William Conservation Alliance, at [email protected] or 703.499.4954
We're using native plants to expand natural areas and create new habitats. Our plan reduces non-native grasses, enhances vertical structure and increases the variety of food sources to welcome a wider variety of wildlife.
We sure could use your help! Workday tasks include planting, weeding, mulching and removing invasive plants that try to sneak their way back. Check our Calendar HERE for current work dates and HERE for more information about this project.

Volunteers can also participate by counting and recording backyard birds at feeders on the count day. Read more...
