Help us take care of the floodplain forest! The Crosby Crew meets regularly at Crosby Farm Regional Park, which hosts the Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change study—a long-term research project aimed at helping our forests become more resilient. The Crew will primarily focus on maintaining research plots in the project's formative years. This includes patching up holes, uprighting loose/downed fencing, and removing vines entangling the plot fences. During the off-season, Crosby Crew runs once a month.
