The AYLUS Dix Hills Branch volunteers at Bethpage State Park to help take down unneeded trees. Volunteers used various tools such as cutters and saws to help cut down the trees in order to make space for other plants. Volunteers also helped remove weeds and other invasive species from the area to plant chestnut trees in their place. Native chestnut trees were being outcompeted by invasive plants, so they needed further assistance to prosper. Volunteers worked from 9:30 to 12:00 to help get rid of the unnecessary plants scattered around.
Volunteers: Bryan Fan (3 hrs), Jonathan Fan (2.5 hrs), and Breanna Orantes (2.5 hrs).
