Volunteers may perform some of the following work:
- Using pruners and loppers to cut vegetation
- Using hand saws to cut branches
- Hauling away vegetation and fallen tree branches
- Picking up trash
What to Bring:
- Water
- Gloves (We'll have some to borrow)
- Long sleeves and long pants (to prevent poison ivy)
Where to Meet:
We will meet at the northern end of the Belle Haven Park parking lot. See the picture below of where to meet on the trail.
