Many of you have kindly offered assistance and we have taken time to assess the damages and create a plan for the work ahead, starting with this volunteer day where we can use your help! We are dubbing this event our “Rock & Roll Clean-Up Day” because we will be quite literally rolling rocks that have been moved from our creek to where we don’t want them along with removing broken fence posts, debris, and trash that has been deposited by the terrible flooding we recently experienced. We plan to have a dumpster onsite for the cleanup.
We ask our volunteers to bring gloves, sturdy shoes (some work can be muddy or around wet areas that waterproof boots may be beneficial), sunscreen and clothes that will protect them from thorns and the elements.
We will provide a pizza lunch and beverages as needed but we recommend folks bring plenty of water and a snack.
If volunteers want to bring any clippers, shovels or even pickup trucks that can transport items to the landfill they might be able to be used but we ask that no one does any chainsawing unless they contact us prior to the event due to safety concerns. We may have the chainsaw work covered.
Parking will be available in front of the center in the grass and down in our lower field off E. Nobles Mill Road if needed, assuming the creek is not flowing heavily and contained beneath the road. Please call Scott with any questions or if you need direction the day of the event 443-340-7980.
