July Volunteer Workdays

GARBER PARK JULY VOLUNTEER WORKDAYS
TUESDAY, JULY 7 and SATURDAY, JULY 18
10AM-NOON
MEET AT THE CLAREMONT AVE ENTRANCE
(maps and directions garberparkstewards.org)

HOT WEATHER AND FIRE SEASON ARE HERE! 

Join us in the cool shade of Garber’s beautiful native oak woodland as we continue attacking the fire-prone invasive weeds and clear the trails that have been hidden by Spring growth. You have many choices:  easy weeding at Fern Glade, Harwood Creek, and along the trails.  For those who enjoy working on steep slopes, the Evergreen Restoration Site needs your help removing poison hemlock and erhardta grass. Wear long sleeves and pants and shoes with good tread.  Bring a water bottle for re-fills.  We provide tools, gloves, water and snacks. Everyone welcome - no experience necessary and students looking for community service hours are welcome. Those under 18 must bring a signed Volunteer Waiver and Release of Liability Form (download from garberparkstewards.org).
