Aug 17, 2023 | Happenings Around the Blue Ridge |

Work Day at JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary

September 2 @ 8:00 am – 11:00 am

JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary is a beautiful 89-acre wildlife preserve located in Lucketts.  Loudoun Wildlife purchased the property in 2020 to preserve this globally rare wetland, which is home to a wonderful diversity of unique species.  On this work day they’ll be doing trail maintenance on various trails. Please be aware that you may encounter poison ivy and ticks at the work site.  Long sleeves and pants, gardening glovesand insect repellant are recommended. Additional information and directions to the Sanctuary will be provided a few days in advance. 20 volunteers needed – volunteers must be at least 16 years old to participate.   Registration required.

Please note: due to the environmentally sensitive habitat and rare species, JK Black Oak is not open for general public access.

Questions: Contact Volunteer Coordinator Kim Strader at kstrader@loudounwildlife.org.

 

Are your windows ready for fall migration?

Did you know you can prep your windows for Fall Migration? Each year, close to 1 billion birds die from window strikes in the United States, but you can help! 

You can make your windows bird-safe this season! Our friends at Blue Ridge Wildlife Center have put together an informational brochure that teaches what everyone can do to help protect these birds.
