SUMMARY:Restoration Work Day
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy another fall morning at the Conservancy \nIt’s time to sign up for our Saturday September 21 Workday from 9-12:00. Come for the whole morning or just an hour or two. Whatever works best for you and enjoy another Autumn day in the Conservancy! \nWe had a wonderful turn out and a beautiful September 7 workday and we are looking to repeat it on Saturday September\, 21. The marsh\, prairies and savanna are still filled with gold\, and the asters are starting to come on strong. More and more birds\, including cranes\, geese\, ducks and many grass loving species are arriving as they stage for the long journey south! This has been an especially good year for monarch butterflies as they stop over to fill up on nectar from the sunflowers\, goldenrod and asters. So this will be a great opportunity to enjoy a fall day and collect some seeds for future restoration plantings. \nNo need to be an expert to collect seeds\, we will show you all you need to know and you’ll may learn to identify some new plants in the process. We’ll also provide all the tools and buckets you need. \nEven if it is predicted to warm up during the morning\, long pants and long sleeves are highly recommended to protect from brush and sun. Sturdy shoes\, work gloves\, sunglasses and insect repellent are also recommended. We’ll have some gloves if you need them. We will likely split up and work in dry and marshy areas so shoes/boots that that are appropriate for wet areas (2-6”) would be good if you want to work in the wetland. If you don’t mind getting your feet wet – athletic shoes will also work. \nWe’ll meet at the interior homestead site at 9:00 AM on Saturday September 21. If 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. 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. \nWorkdays are weather dependent; so please let us know you are coming. This will allow us to let you know if we have to cancel. As well as ensure we have enough snacks for everyone.
