SUMMARY:Special Planting Workday
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in helping create a special new Conservancy feature. Our Land Manager Rob Schubert wrote a successful grant for a plant propagation nursery. It will have about 1\,100 plants this year and we need your help to plant them. \nOn June 15 we will have two three hour sessions with up to 15 people in each session. The first session will be 9 am until noon. The second session is noon until 3 pm or we finish planting. People may sign up for both sessions if they are interested in helping all day. Please RSVP to and tell us which session you will be able to work. \nWe hope those of you with previous planting experience will be able to help. Holes will already be prepared but careful handling and planting will be critical to success this season. \nPlan to park in the gravel parking lot and walk into the homestead site. In addition to the usual long pants and shirts\, you might want to bring your knee pads. \nThank you for helping launch this major effort to expand the diversity of plants in the Conservancy.

SUMMARY:Special Workday – Seed Collection
DESCRIPTION:The sedges in the wetland are producing seed and our goal is to collect as much as we can so that we can so we can plant them later into areas that need more of the plants that protect our precious wetland!\n \nEven if it is warm\, we highly recommend long pants\, long sleeves and a hat to protect you from brush and the sun. Since we’ll be working in the wetland\, please bring waterproof shoes. Work gloves and insect repellent are also recommended. We will supply all the tools needed\, and have some extra gloves if you need them. It is spring\, so wear shoes/boots that are appropriate for wet and muddy areas.\n \nIf you are in a car\, the gate will be open so you can drive in from the County Parking Lot at 4864 Pheasant Branch Road. Please drive slowly up the road\, watch for hikers and park in the large\, grassy parking lot across from the homestead and the Friends work trailer. There’s also a bike rack for those of you who ride in.\n \nEven if you are not able to stay for the full 3 hours you’re welcome to join us for as long as you can stay.Workdays are weather dependent; so please let us know you are coming. This will allow us to let you know if we have to cancel and we can ensure we have enough snacks for everyone.
