A service project to help maintain the Big Meadows will be hosted on September 27th from 10:00am to 3:00pm. Volunteers will further efforts to reduce woody vegetation growing in the Big Meadows by hauling out locusts tree logs. Removing the woody vegetation from the meadow maintains its unique cultural and environmental significance. Volunteers will be joined by park staff to learn more about the botanic significance of Big Meadows and why this work is important.
