Wesley Ridge Woodland Restoration

November 11, 2016

Shown in the foreground is the restored edge of the path through the woods at Wesley Ridge Retirement Community Center. Note the other side still covered with weeds. In the background are some of the duplexes which are part of the community.

Long-time Wild Ones member Barb Velez Barbosa has a special project that she needs help with funding. It is a volunteer project which began in March 2014 to restore the woodland edge along the path at Wesley Ridge Retirement Community in Reynoldsburgh, Ohio. Barb has had help completing one side of the path from Boy Scouts, National Wildlife Federation’s “Trees for Wildlife,” Wild Ones Columbus Chapter, City of Columbus’ “Branch Out
Columbus” and residents of Fairfield County. Now she needs to tackle the other side and needs a little more money to complete the project.

To help Barb complete this project, read the complete story and make a donation.
