Activities on Saturday, February 28th, will consist of cutting and herbicide treating invasive buckthorn, honeysuckle, red cedar and sumac on a site scheduled for Rx burning during the spring of 2026.

• Loppers and hand saws are needed so bring those if you have them.
• Chainsaws and brush cutters are needed as well so if you have one, as well as the necessary PPE, gas/oil mix, bar oil, and experience, bring those too.
• Herbicide will be provided, as well as Buckthorn Blasters and other application equipment.
• Dress for the weather, you’ll need to stay warm when you’re not moving around but you’ll also need to take off layers as you work so you don’t overheat.
• Bring your own work gloves or mittens, and hand warmers you can put inside them if needed.
• Bring hydrating fluids and snacks to keep you happy and healthy.
• Bring a backpack or carry bag so you can keep all of your things with you as opposed to hiking down the bluff to your car every time you’re thirsty.

We’ll meet in the parking lot behind the tennis courts at Twin Bluffs Middle School on February 28th and work from from 9:00-3:00.

If you’d like to help out on February 28th, please send your RSVP to Jeff Lightfoot at lightfoot.jeff56@gmail.com to let him know. Jeff will stay in touch with the people who send their RSVP to let them know if there are any changes like adjusted start times, or even cancellation, due to bad weather. Any questions you might have about the workday can also be sent to Jeff.

ADDED BONUS!!!

Jeff will be bringing venison brats and buns so your RSVP is especially critical for him to know how many to bring.
