Description

Now that the early days of winter have arrived, we continue fall work – brush clearing, but with the possibility of snow on the ground we also start looking at burning brush piles and cutting down trees to restore ecosystems. Some of this work is done cutting smaller brush with hand tools, and some will involve using brush cutters or chainsaws. No prior experience is required to do this work, but work day leader needs to know who can help so that we have enough equipment to use. Come for part of the day or the whole thing.

What to Bring

If you are interested in cutting brush by hand, you should have long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, gloves and sturdy boots. If there is snow on the ground, assume we might be burning brush piles, so your outer layer should be older clothing, ideally non-synthetic material, as embers might cause holes in it. Bring whatever water and food you want for the day. Sunscreen is optional but advised, even in the winter sunlight.

RSVP

You must RSVP with the work day organizer (listed below) so we have enough equipment and we can make sure all volunteers for the day have up-to-date information about meeting location.

Volunteer Service Agreement

If you’re joining us for the first time at an event, please complete the fillable Volunteer Services Agreement Form and email it (along with any questions) to Dan Watson, (Daniel_Watson@nps.gov). You should also complete the form if you don’t have a Volunteer Services Agreement Form on file, or completed one prior to January 2022.

Description

With our removal of wild parsnip and sweet clover over, we move into the phase of fall work – brush clearing. Some of this work is done cutting smaller brush with hand tools, and some will involve using brush cutters or chainsaws. No prior experience is required to do this work, but work day leader needs to know who can help so that we have enough equipment to use. Come for part of the day or the whole thing.

What to Bring

If you are interested in cutting brush by hand, you should have long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, gloves and sturdy boots. If you are interested in using the chapter’s brush cutters, please indicate that when you RSVP (so we have the equipment) and you need long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, gloves, sturdy boots and hearing protection. Bring whatever water and food you want for the day. Sunscreen and insect repellent are optional but advised.

RSVP

You must RSVP with the work day organizer (listed below) so we have enough equipment and we can make sure all volunteers for the day have up-to-date information about meeting location.
