 We can have as many as 100 workers per Saturday and they will need to bring any of the following  items they have available for use:

Rakes              ( garden as well as yard rakes)

Gloves             (heavy duty or work gloves)

Wheelbarrow (to move debris from sight to a pile to be picked up)

 This is labor intensive work

            Removal of debris from yards and field so that construction and plant growth can begin is our first priority   

            Many may be assigned to farms so that spring hay fields are ready for use. 

            We will also be moving to clean both hollows and streams as the weather permits. 

            You MUST wear thick soled shoes as there is a possibility of nails and sharp            objects everywhere.

Sack lunches are going to be provided for the workers so we need a list or number of participants for each day.  Please call or e-mail by Wednesday of the week you wish to help so that we may be fully prepared with enough land owners and lunches for each Saturday.
