This Saturday we are meeting at Reed Turner Woodland to fix the wire gaurd around the trees. We may be stepping in and around some poison ivy. The poison ivy should not be touched!! Before we begin the work we will explain what poison ivy looks like; it will be only a couple of inches high but can still be potent. Please bring gloves, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and boots if possible for your protection. We can provide zip ties or wire to fasten the netting together and wire cutters if you don’t bring them with you. We are going to meet this Saturday, May 10, at 9:30 am at RTW. For this activity you must be 18 years or older. Please sign up and confirm your availability. Thank you for volunteering.
