This will involve cutting down honeysuckle, treating the stumps with herbicide, and possibly dragging downed wood to make piles. If we find trash, we will also try to clean this as we go. This will be our 4th year tackling this site, and we have seen vast improvements in the habitat due to the work these last few years,
What to bring:
- If you have work gloves, loppers, or a saw please bring them. We will have materials to borrow.
- It will be late Fall in Ohio, so the ground may be hard and dry, or it may be really muddy. Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
- We will be in an area with tall plants, so long sleeves and pants are recommended.
Parking: Parking is available onsite, right next to our work area.
Weather: We got out in the rain, but if there are storms (thunder or wind), I will email everyone to say it is canceled.
Other:
- There are pit restrooms available on site.
- We will have water bottles, and jugs to refill if you bring your own reusable bottle.
- We always bring snacks.
