Once again, we’ll get an early start in an effort to avoid the heat. Work will start at 7 a.m. and go until 3 p.m. Potluck dinner (following COVID safety protocols – including wearing a mask while near food) with hot dogs (vegan and vegetarian friendly) provided. Bat walk, star gazing (if skies cooperate), and games in the evening.
August 14:
Pack up and leave Sod House by 10 a.m.
There will be ample time for birding, socializing, playing games, etc. Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided. All participants will be required to wear masks if they are working less than 6′ apart. Hand sanitizing will be required before touching shared surfaces (e.g. water coolers, potluck serving utensils, coffee supplies, etc.).
What to expect: While some elements of this work party will require long hours of standing, hauling gravel, and other physically demanding work, there are also some opportunities for work that is less physically demanding, such as painting the picnic tables and retouching interpretive signs. Please contact Teresa (information below) if you are interested in this opportunity but need accommodations.
