Most of the work at Young’s this workday will be cutting clover and hedge parsley on the cleared steep slope south of goat prairie proper.  Microspikes may be helpful on that slope. There also will be sumac to cut (with power brush cutters), clover, hedge parsley and other invasives to seek and pull.  Park at the Hwy D trail crossing between Bellbrook Rd & Hwy DD.  (Map/directions).

We may be moving to an alternate assembly point that will permit limited vehicle access (to haul gear) and closer proximity to the worksite.  We also have Jon Bishop as stand-in leader because Tom Wise is unavailable.  We highly recommend contacting Jon in advance to learn these details, esp. if you will be arriving  more than five minutes after the scheduled start.

In light of recent heavy rain and this site’s historic affinity for chiggers, bring and apply bug dope.
