The Nature Conservancy Workday at Barnes Chapel

Join TNC and DCR Natural Heritage for their annual workday at TNC’s Barnes Chapel (non-public) preserve. This has become a popular volunteer work day and will be run in two parts; part 1 is 12-2pm and part 2 is from 2pm-4:30pm.  

  • Work day part 2: Roadside trash cleanup

    • 2pm-4:30pm

    • This will be our second year partnering with Ben Casteel and students from the Virginia Highlands Community College. We will conduct a roadside trash cleanup on Rattle Creek Road (the road beside Barnes Chapel preserve) to collect and remove trash that might make its way in to the preserve.

    • Blaze orange vests are required. TNC will have vests, gloves, and trash bags available.
