For the month of August we are presently planning two Park-Keeping sessions. Please note the earlier starting time: 9 AM.
Friday August 1, 9-10:30 AM. We will work our way along the Ridge Trail trail and the edge of the woodland, removing burning bush, bittersweet, and a few others. Tools used: loppers, clippers, shovel. The Ridge Trail is accessed from Irving Avenue, near Grotto.
Saturday, August 16, 9-10:30 AM: We will spread wood chips near north end of Parkside.
Here’s some general information about Park-keeping.
• You are welcome to drop-in for all or part of the event. That said, if you think you can come please email [email protected]—it helps with the planning.
• The intensity of the work varies within each event, unless otherwise noted. You can choose whether you want lighter or heavier work!
• We recommend you wear long pants and closed-toe shoes, and bring water and bug repellent.
• We can provide gloves and tools, although it helps if you can bring some.
• We can provide tools, if you’d like to bring your own we will use: pruners, loppers, weeders.
