SUMMARY:Volunteer – Plant seedlings for NE Cottontail Habitat Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer opportunities with Rachel Carson WildLife Refuge during the week of Earth Day.  This activity\, over two days\, involves planting native shrub seedlings into pots which will be later used for New England cottontail habitat restoration projects. \nDates/Time and Location: \n\nDay 1:  Wednesday April 24th @12noon – 4:00pm\nDay 2: Thursday April 25th @9 am – 3:00pm\nLocation:  Rachel Carson WildLife Refuge Greenhouse\, 429 Post Road (Rt 1)\, Wells  (enter via small drive located just down Route 1 from Saltwater Farm)\n\n Confirm attendance to one or both days\, or portion of day(s) to:  Colin McKevitt   colin_mckevitt@fws.gov \nPer Colin: \n“Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge is holding its annual shrub potting volunteer event\, just a few days after Earth Day 2024. We will be receiving a large order of bareroot native shrub seedlings and will get to work potting nearly 1500 shrubs as fast as we can get to them. This is great opportunity to get your hands dirty\, learn about growing container stock\, and check out our greenhouse in Wells! We have selected specific native shrubs with habitat goals in mind for the New England cottontail- many of these shrubs will be outplanted for early successional/young forest habitat restoration projects. \n  \nWednesday\, 4/24/24 \nThe plants will be picked up in Dover\, NH in the morning\, so we should be ready to start planting at the greenhouse at 12:00 PM. \n Thursday\, 4/25/24 \n There will still be plenty of plants to get potted\, so we will start at the greenhouse at 09:00 AM and go until we run out. \n Garden gloves\, sunscreen and hats are recommended\, and we will have extra gloves and sunscreen for those who need them. \nPlease let me (Colin) know if and when you are interested in coming to help\, even for just an hour or two. I will be sending a follow up email to anyone interested to firm up the details. \n If you have any other questions or concerns\, please don’t hesitate to reach out! “ \n  \n  \nThis a a fun and worthwhile volunteer activity.  Work is in close proximity to others – a good socializing opportunity as well.   In the fall\, Rachel Carson will again seek volunteers for “Rabitat Planting Parties” where these pots established in April are planted in designated NE Cottontail habitats located between Cape Elizabeth and Kittery. \n  \nAlso see poster contained within image attached to this calendar entry \nAdditional NE Cottontail restoration info: https://www.wbur.org/news/2023/10/02/new-england-cottontail-rabbit-habitat
