Reminder of Land Trust Work Party on June 18

Thanks to everyone who helped with Saturday’s work party.

Deborah and Roger Richardson Nature Preserve

This is a reminder of the work party this week on Thursday.  If you are planning to attend either, please confirm by email, if you haven’t already done so.

Also, if you would like to help out at another time, please let me know and we will arrange something that fits your schedule and interests.

For all work parties, we will follow these COVID-19 precautions:

— If you can help, please let us know in advance.  We will limit the MAXIMUM size of the crew to 10 people.

— Everyone on the crew must agree to wear a MASK.  

— Everyone on the crew must agree to maintain a 6-FOOT DISTANCE from each other.

— These are precautions that naturally require teamwork and mutual respect among everyone on the crew.  We hope you agree.

Bring your own:

— face mask (required)

— work gloves

— water

— insect repellent

— sunscreen, if desired

Any cancellations due to weather will be posted on our website attleborolandtrust.org
