From Our Volunteer Coordinator
This month our 3rd Saturday Work Party on May 18th from 9-12pm will be focused on installing protective tubing on trees and shrubs that were planted along Gibbons Creek last month. Meet at the Steigerwald trailhead at 9am and be sure to wear long sleeves and long pants to protect yourself from stinging nettle.
Join us during Memorial Day Weekend on Saturday or Monday for more volunteer opportunities. Contact volunteer@refugestewards.org for more details.
