Volunteers needed - TASK list

Volunteers needed

MICHEL-ROSS PRESERVE

• Walk through preserve and haul out trash.
• Inspect signage and paint posts.
• Volunteers will be needed to put up a goat fence for 2 hours or so next year. This will need to happen when the bush honeysuckle is just getting its first leaves. It will be scheduled in late winter before other plants start sprouting and before the ticks and chiggers are present. The focus here is to make a long term plan to remove as much bush honeysuckle as possible over the next 5 years or so. Then it will need to be managed every year thereafter. This will eventually keep natural walking paths open and help maintain plant diversity in the 26 acre forested preserve.

As you can see, there is much to do to maintain our green spaces. We will feature a task every month in the Prairie Falcon.

Generally, we will work for two hours and do whatever we can. The more hands the more we can get done.
