This fall we will be working in one of the conservation restrictions (CR) held by ACT. We are required to monitor each of the eight CR’s we hold annually, and note down action items such as invasive growth and boundary issues which require work.

Family groups, scout groups, students and everyone else is welcome. No experience needed – we’ll show you what needs to be done. Come dressed in boots or sturdy shoes with long sleeves and pants, sprayed for ticks and mosquitos. Don’t forget your sunscreen! Expect weedy, rocky and uneven terrain. Please bring leather (best for thorns) or cloth work gloves and bypass pruning shears or clippers if you have them. A kneeling pad for gardening might be helpful. We will have some extra tools and loaner gloves available. We’ll also have water and refreshments.

Please register HERE. You’ll be emailed a copy of the registration. Students may register for parents, but not for friends, so we can contact each person by email if needed. Just forward the Google Form to anyone who is interested! Scouts may sign up as a troop as long as there is at least one contact willing to send information on to each person planning to attend. Thank you!
