Coordinates are for the parking lot near the front gate at Willow River State Park.  Current plan is to remove Buckthorn.

 

It is not necessary to stay for the entire time, but if you arrive at the start you will know where we are working. If you arrive late check the cache page and I will post a note for where to find us.

* Loppers, hand saws, hand pruners

* Tarp, trash bags

* First aid kit

* Sturdy boots laced tight for uneven terrain

 

What to bring:

* Work gloves (thicker is better when working with buckthorn)

* Water bottle

* Safety glasses are recommended

* Tools, if you wish: hand pruner, loppers, hand saw (labeled with your name)

* Optional: A backpack or a 5-gallon bucket is helpful to carry tools and water

DO WEAR TICK REPELLANT AS WE ARE ALREADY SEEING TICKS.

~~If you plan to attend ONLY the clean up, ask for a complimentary pass. BUT: there are many fun caches in this park, so you may wish to stay for some caching after the clean up.

Remember: you receive a CITO souvenir on your Profile page for participating in an event on/near Earth Day.
