CALN TOWNSHIP

Join the EAC for an Invasive Species Removal Event!

4/9/2026

The Caln Township Environmental Advisory Council is heading up to Spackman-Davis Farm to remove invasive species from the farm, and they need your help!

Join them on Saturday, April 18th at 1:00 PM to help clear out these plants before we celebrate America's 250th birthday at the 3rd Annual Spackman-Davis Farm picnic! Removing invasive species allows for more space and nutrients in the soil for native plants to grow and thrive.

BYO work gloves and loppers (if you have them). This activity is probably best for adults or older kids.
