Event Description:
Join us in rescuing the native habitat at beautiful Anderson Point Park by removing invasive plant species Saturday, January 20th, 9am-noon. Invasive plants degrade our environment and out compete our native species which our animals depend upon for food.
Volunteer Duties: Possibly using hand tools such as loppers, pruners, or hand saws (18 years+) to cut down invasive plants and dragging them to be stacked for removal.
Work Environment: We will be working our way into and back out of wooded areas with the possibility of uneven ground. There are bathrooms on location.
To join the fun, pre-registration is required. Please wear sturdy, closed toe shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dirty. Staff will provide gloves, tools and first aid kit with sunscreen and insect repellent.
Volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who has also registered. All volunteers must fill out a volunteer release form that will be sent to them prior to the event.
Per Department Policy, this opportunity is not available for court-appointed or suggested community service hours.
