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. From past efforts, we have seen vast improvements in habitat at the arboretum.
What to bring:
- If you have work gloves, loppers, or a saw please bring them. We will have materials to borrow.
- Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Burrs were an issue at our project last weekend.
- We will be in an area with tall plants, so long sleeves and pants are recommended.
Parking: Parking is available along the road running past the arboretum.
Other:
- They have a portalet.
- We will have water bottles, and jugs to refill if you bring your own reusable bottle.
- We always bring snacks.
