1:00 – 3:00 – Clean-up Time
We’ll spend the first portion of the day assisting with
various spring cleaning activities. If you would like to make a
special request for a clean-up task , please try to do so in
advance. Some tasks are listed below and most are
kid-friendly:
- Painting of the front door & railing/ramp
- Spruce up the Nature Center’s Kiosk
- Raking and repairing winter damage to lawns
- Invasive Species Removal
- Erecting 20X20 ft tent (we'll need 4-6 people)
- Removal of brush/invasives (truck required)
3:00 – 4:00 – Games & Prizes
After our good work session, we’ll have an opportunity to
mix, mingle, and play some games. We’ll also hold a raffle
for door prizes. If you would like to donate a door prize, that
would be great. Just let me know the item you plan to bring. If
there are enough people interested, it may also be possible to host
an evening BBQ at the Center.
There will also be a brand new set of caches to be found, and
we’ll even have one or two extra GPS units around so that
families that are new to caching can test out the equipment and
give caching a first try.
Please note that all dogs must remain on a
leash. Sensitive grassland bird species nest at the Nature Center,
and thus the leash rule will be enforced. Thanks for your
cooperation.
