SUMMARY:MINNESOTA DRIFTLESS: GARVIN HEIGHTS WORK DAY
DESCRIPTION:Garvin Heights Work Day\nFriday, May 29 – 9:00 a.m. to Noon\nLocation: Garvin Heights Overlook Park in Winona, MN\n\nJoin us at the Garvin Heights Overlook Park in Winona, MN, for a spring work day where we’ll be doing things like controlling invasive plants such as buckthorn and oriental bittersweet, and spreading the seed of Canada and Virginia wild rye.\n \n\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\nParticipants should wear or bring the following:\n\nHydrating liquids and snacks to keep them healthy and happy\nInsect repellent and sunscreen\nWork gloves, and preferably boots, long pants, and long-sleeved shirts.\n\nWe’ll have some some hand tools like loppers and pruners, but if participants can bring some as well, that would be helpful.\nWe’ll also have herbicide, applicator equipment like spray bottles and hand daubers, and some chemical-resistant gloves. Participants can bring their own chemical-resistant gloves to be sure they have a size that fits them, and applicator equipment if they have any. Note that participants won’t be required to use herbicides, there are plenty of other tasks to do if that’s what they’d prefer.\nIf participants have chainsaws or brush cutters, PPE like chaps and safety glasses, and are capable of using this type of equipment safely, they can bring that as well.\nWORK PARTY LEADER:\nIf you’re interested in helping, please send Peter Hartman ( mailto:hartmanpm@charter.net ) an email (hartmanpm@charter.net ( mailto:hartmanpm@charter.net )). Peter will stay in touch with the people who send him an RSVP and let them know if there are any changes in the plan such as a delay or cancellation due to bad weather. You can also send Peter any questions you might have about the work day.\nLOCATION:\nWe will be meeting at the Garvin heights Overlook Parking Lot.
