Volunteer Day: Invasive-Removal at Belle Forest Cave

Prompt:
Write a warm, inviting round-up article that highlights the volunteer event “Invasive Species Management at Belle Forest Cave & Arboretum.” Begin with a friendly overview of the day: what volunteers will do (removing invasive plants), the supportive environment (gloves and tools provided, no prior experience required), and the communal spirit of giving back to local ecosystems. Include practical details readers would want: meeting at Five Guys for carpooling, what to bring (water bottle, long sleeves, closed-toed shoes), and what to expect on-site (no restrooms, snacks available, parking logistics). Emphasize the ecological impact—why removing invasives matters for the Belle Forest Cave arboretum’s 40+ tree species and overall habitat health. Outline how readers can participate, what TennGreen will provide (Volunteer Handbook, liability waiver, parking instructions), and any steps to sign up. Conclude with a short call-to-action that encourages local readers to join, share the event with friends, and follow TennGreen for future opportunities. Optional: weave in a brief local-interest angle about Belle Forest Cave’s history since its 2015 acquisition and 2018 arboretum certification to contextualize the importance of community stewardship.
