Invasive plants like privet, thorny olive, honeysuckle, and wisteria are overtaking Silver Lake’s woodlands, threatening native habitats and making the preserve harder to enjoy.

Every few years, we fundraise to hire professionals to tackle invasives across our ~32 acres — work that goes beyond routine maintenance and volunteer cleanups.

Our goal is to raise $15,000 before contracting an invasives removal services firm. 

Join the effort to restore balance to the forest.
