Conservation Committee Project and Applicant Service Project Opportunity June 12

Invasive Species Task Force Project

 
Call for volunteers
In the fall we were able to destroy hundreds of invasive species plants along the road to Nawakwa in a single day. We will continue this project on Sat. June 12 in coordination with ACA and the NY/NJ Trail Conference. By killing invasive species, which tend to take over entire areas, we will be encouraging the growth of native flora which in turn helps provide an improved habitat for local animals and birds. We will meet the volunteers from the other organizations at our gate at 8:45and will work approximately until 1 PM. All necessary tools will be provided.
 This is also an opportunity for Applicants to complete a Qualifying Service Project, however, spots are limited based on the number of keyholders who respond. RSVP quickly and please, if you can’t make it after signing up – let us know ASAP so another Applicant can attend.
It was a fun, not very strenuous, and very worthwhile activity. If you have some interest in joining us that morning or would like more information, please contact me by June 5.
