It's always a good time to give back to the communities that encourage our game of geocaching. Minnetonka is a great city to cache in. Come out to Purgatory Park and cut some buckthorn down as a way of saying 'Thank You'. Bring thick work gloves and wear sturdy shoes since we will be working on hills. Safety glasses are recommended. Bring your favorite handsaw and/or loppers labeled with your name. Limited tools and snacks will be provided by the City of Minnetonka. All volunteers are required to sign a release form before participating. Janet Van Sloun will be our host. She is a very knowlegable employee of the City of Minnetonka and has done a great job in the past of educating the volunteers on various plants and weeds that we encounter. She strongly believes in making it an enjoyable time for the volunteers and she is always extremely appreciative of the time that we give to make the parks more beautiful. Please log early so she has a good idea of how many tools and snacks to bring.
