Friday, Sept. 27, 4:30pm - 9pm @Scout’s Holllow

At these workdays, we will be removing invasive species from two different locations/projects. @  Scout Hollow we will be finishing trail work started by our youth works Student Civilian Conservation Corps students.  @ Joe Prance we will be removing invasive honey suckle in an area that we are developing as a youth play area. Both of these volunteers days will have “drinks on us” and end with a bonfire, perhaps some pizza of y’all work hard.




In general:
We recommend wearing long sleeves, long pants and boots. May-September can feature excessive mosquitos, we will have bug spray and bug nets!

We will provide gloves, tools and adult beverages when applicable!

We recommend attendees bring a water bottle.

We will take breaks to hike; learning plant, flower, and tree identification!
