Special to the Times Vedette
Team up with Whiterock Conservancy as they continue restoration efforts on Saturday, May 17, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Meet at Betts Shop, 1221 Fig Ave., Coon Rapids.
Volunteers will be clearing a remnant prairie of invasive brush to create a heathier, more diverse landscape. Do you have similar restoration projects you are working on or thinking about? Bring questions and learn about the work Whiterock has done and the many different management tools that have been used over the years.
Work may include navigating rough terrain, using loppers to cut brush, piling brush and treating cut stumps. Wear close-toed shoes, pants and long sleeves and bring personal protective equipment (PPE) if you have it. Whiterock can provide basic PPE if needed; this would include gloves and eye and ear protection.
All volunteers will be required to sign a waiver upon arrival. RSVP is required to Tyler Bruck by phone at 712-790-8221 ext. 6 or by email at tbruck@whiterockconservancy.org. There will be pizza and refreshments to end the day. Contact Tyler with any questions or for more information.
