Wales Park Patch Forest

Come to Wales Park, at the corner of Lincolnville Avenue and Main Street, to add your muscle and your expertise to the creation of an in-town patch forest. Volunteers are needed beginning at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 9 and Friday, October 11 to work with Belfast Area High School students (under the supervision of teacher David Thomas) and members of the TWiG committee to clear brush and thin trees along the park’s perimeter.

The patch forest is a collaborative educational project between the Belfast Garden Club, the City of Belfast, and the Belfast Area High School. Urban patch forests provide an important source of food, shelter, and habitat for breeding, migrating, and over-wintering bird populations that depend upon native species for their survival.
