Opportunities From: Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources

Volunteer: Invasive Plant Removal

Invasive plant species degrade the ecosystem functioning in our parks. At Samuel S. Lewis State Park, the understory has been completely replaced by these plants. They are not valuable to wildlife and prevent native species from regenerating. Because these plants take up space, nutrients, and sunlight sections of the woods at Sam Lewis will not be able to regenerate as trees age and die.
