ORGANIZATION: Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 7 people are interested

These volunteers will meet regularly (probably weekly) during spring and fall (and maybe cooler summer days) to take on various projects along trails and refuge access points. Possible projects would include minor trail repairs, installing new refuge signs, adding new mile marker posts, maintaining stickers on mile marker posts, manually removing noxious weeds, picking up litter, etc. No experience necessary, but some crew members who consider themselves handy would be appreciated.

No specific skills needed, but would strongly prefer people who consider themselves handy, have carpentry skills, and have experience working with power tools.
Works well on a team.
