Volunteers are needed by the Nature Conservancy to help remove unwanted cedars from prairie openings at the Edge of Appalachia nature preserve system in Adams County, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 11.

Volunteers should wear comfortable work clothes, including long-sleeved shirts, long pants and gloves. They should also bring a sack lunch and something to drink.

The Edge of Appalachia is jointly owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy and the Cincinnati Museum Center. It is one of the most biologically diverse collections of natural systems in the Midwest.
