Activities

For our first fall work party at Little Brook Natural Area, we will focus on removal of the blackberry that returned and thrived in the summer sun around our native plantings. Most areas for this weeding venture are level, but we recommend not bringing children younger than 5 years because you will be working under and around native plants. Mulching will be done as time permits. Weeding techniques will be briefly overviewed at start of the work party.

All ages OK

5 out of 10 participants registered.

What to Bring

Bring yourselves in long slacks, long sleeves, gloves, and sturdy boots or shoes. We provide tools, tarps, buckets, wheelbarrows and mulch. If you bring your own tools, especially pruners, please mark them so they go home with you. We do have a few extra gloves for those who may not own a pair yet. Beverages and snacks provided.
