TIME: 9:00am-12:00pm (prompt start, estimated end)
Hello Environmental Volunteers and Friends,
We really hope that you can join us again this year!!! The more people we have, the more we can get done! We’ll be doing trash cleanup and invasive plant removal, between a dirt road and the creek. Instructions will be given before the work starts. And we will have people designated that you can ask if you have any questions. Participants age 16+. Top priorities are safety first while preserving the native area and plants. No power tools or chemicals will be used. Activities include: 1. Walking through the woods (no trail) and removing trash. There is one concentrated area, but most is strewn. (Think of it as a “trash treasure hunt”.) Best to collect in buckets (that don’t tear) and then bring back to staging area. Useful to bring: full size or small shovels, prying tools, buckets, & wheelbarrows. 2. Cutting down and/or digging out: invasive, non-native shrubs. Do not remove any plants, except the ones identified. If in doubt, ask! Useful to bring: loppers, pruners, small saws, full size shovels, & prying tools.
The Christina River Watershed Committee supporting cleanup for 27 years, will be providing teeshirts with their logo on them! If you’re planning on participating, please let me know soon and include desired size shirt. (Expect a little cotton shrinkage. For reference, I always wear a medium.) Even if you don’t want a shirt, please let me know if you’re coming, so I can try to prepare the release signing to be as easy as possible.
All participants should bring a pair of sturdy work gloves. (We have some pairs to borrow too.) Wearing long pants and sturdy boots are highly recommended. Don’t forget sun protection, suntan lotion and bug spray if you wish. Water, pretzels, and apples will be provided. All volunteers will need to sign waivers for two agencies.
