No fooling, we’ve already controlled almost 5,000 trees around Lava Tree and we intend to keep going. Join us and become an official "Albizia Assassin"!
We will be doing hands-on work with our albizia field crew, handling sharp tools and herbicide.If you plan to participate in the hands-on trainings or workdays, please wear/bring:
- sturdy, closed toe shoes
- long pants
- long sleeved shirt
- water bottle (we provide ice-cold water for refills)
- Optional for comfort: hat, sunscreen, mosquito repellant
**We may stumble across LFA (little fire ants) in some areas, so we also recommend bringing a hat and towel or cloth you can use to protect your neck and collar line (ants will fall from the trees when disturbed).**
