Join the Cincinnati Wild Flower Preservation Society, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and supporters as we sponsor this volunteer effort in its 18th year to help remove invasive bush honeysuckle from the Caesar Creek Lake Spillway Tailwater area.  Come help your friends and kindred spirits continue the protection of this natural treasure. One of the area's prime features is a gorge formed by glacial meltwaters cutting down through the bedrock. Steep walls formed, rising 180 feet above the river, with more than two miles of Caesar Creek flowing through the gorge. We will be working in the diverse habitat of this natural area, which features heavily wooded hillsides above the gorge of beech, maple, hickory, oak, and a luxuriant floodplain covered with herbaceous flora. The work done in this area for the past 17 years has had a very positive impact to wildflower diversity.  This is a terrific social, educational, and work activity with a great lunch provided.

Your RSVP would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Christine Hadley at 513-850-9585, or email [email protected], for more information. Chainsaw & steel blade trimmer operators must be pre-registered.

Bring your favorite tools: gloves, pruners, loppers, saws, trimmers, and protective gear for power equipment. We will provide tools and gloves to volunteers new to honeysuckle removal. Stump treatment will be furnished.
