As we will be working with tools and plant species, it is necessary to wear closed-toed shoes, hiking/outdoor clothing you are comfortable with potentially getting dirty, and a personal water bottle. It's also important to check the weather beforehand and bring a rain/warm coat, a hat, and/or sunscreen if necessary! Please note that if weather conditions are too extreme, this event may be canceled; however, we will reach out to let you know if we foresee any potential of this occurring.

We will be following current state protocols in regards to COVID-19 (subject to change by the time of the event). For now, we ask that you consider wearing face masks/coverings when unable to socially distance, and we will also be keeping the event size at a maximum of 30 people, though actual attendance will vary depending on how many people sign up.
