Description

We will likely be doing something awesome! We might still be cutting invasive brush and trees. However, spring is also prescribed burn season. Some of our workdays will be dedicated to preparing for burning by installing/updating burn breaks. Burns are weather- and other condition-dependent and take priority when they’re possible.

If the conditions are not right for burning, other activities open to all volunteers will be scheduled and posted as we get closer to each day.  This may include prepping an area to be burned.

In late spring, the focus will shift to controlling invasive species like garlic mustard and wild parsnip with pulling and spraying.

We’ll post the details for work days as soon as we know them; to get the latest information contact the work day organizer (listed below).

RSVP

You must RSVP with the work day organizer (listed below) so we have enough equipment and we can make sure all volunteers for the day have up-to-date information about meeting location.
