Volunteers are needed to clear brush and small trees from the remnant foundations of a late 1800s home and its associated farm buildings, preparing this historic site for future archaeological mapping. In addition to removing brush, we’ll also keep an eye for previously unknown features to add to the mapping project! Volunteers should dress for the weather and bring: work gloves, water bottle, and loppers suitable for cutting stems up to 1” diameter (if you have them – we’ll have a few extra pairs). 3 hours
