Activities

Spend a morning with friends and neighbors in the Genesee forest and get your hands dirty. Come to marvel how the woods have grown and changed as we get the ready for Fall planting. There will be ivy to pull, blackberry to hack, and new people to meet. Bring the kids, of course--all ages are welcome.

All ages OK

13 out of 15 participants registered.

What to Bring

Come dressed for the weather (rain or shine) in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes (rubber boots, hiking shoes or boots), long sleeves, long pants, warm layers and rain jacket. We'll have tools and gloves for you to use, as well as coffee, water, and a mid-morning snack. Help reduce waste by bringing your own refillable coffee mug/water bottle if you have one!

Where to Meet

Meet in the forest on the East Side of the Genesee Meadow. From the parking lot, walk north, towards the lake, past the picnic shelter towards the trail kiosk. The site is just to the east of the kiosk. (if you are by the soccer fields you are in the wrong part of the park!)
