Friends of the Doan Brook Gorge

A few years ago, some friends got together to start removing invasive species and planting native species in the Doan Brook Gorge in the hopes of making it a more resilient and accessible spot for community members to spend time in nature. Filled with meandering trails and multiple waterfalls, the Doan Brook Gorge is a beautiful and often under-utilized natural area of the Doan Brook watershed.

This year, we are hosting 6 “Habitat Stewardship Days” which will involve invasive species removal, native tree plantings, and so much more! Join us in helping to make the Doan Brook Gorge a more biodiverse and welcoming outdoor space for all!

What to bring: Volunteers of all experience levels are welcome. We will have limited gloves and hand tools available, but if you have your own garden tools, please feel free to bring those along! Please wear closed-toed shoes and weather-appropriate clothing that you do not mind getting a little dirty, and consider bringing water and/or snacks for your comfort!

Parking: Volunteers can park in the Fairhill Partners parking lot — or on E. 124 — and walk to the work site on Fairhill Road between E 124th and E. 127th.

Registration: Advance registration is requested but walk-ups are welcomed. For questions, please contact Emily at Emily@doanbrookpartnership.org

Thank you!
