A work party dedicated to private property in the Hillside neighborhood will be on Saturday, February 7th. Volunteers will meet at Grace Cole Nature Park at at 9am, then disperse to neighbors who have requested help or from whom we have permission to work.

• digging tool for roots

Some tools and gloves will be on hand. Dress for the weather and bring water. All ages are welcome to participate in ridding the local forest of ivy.

This is a great opportunity for school volunteer hours and for meeting your neighbors! Minors need parental consent. Those under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Sandwiches, hot and cold beverages, and goodies will be provided at noon. 

High winds will be cause for cancellation.
