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 invasive plant removal and stacking in a very prominent part of the Preserve.  Instructions will be given before the work starts.  Participants age 18+. Top priorities are safety first while preserving the native area and plants.   We’ll be pulling out or cutting down invasive, non-native shrubs.  Do not remove any plants, except the ones identified!  If in doubt, ask.  Useful to bring: loppers, pruners, or saws.  We will not be digging, so no shovels.

The Christina River Watershed Committee supporting cleanup for 30 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 a few 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.  Ticks can always be a risk.  Water, pretzels, and apples will be provided.  All volunteers will need to sign waivers for two agencies.
