Saturday November 23rd, 10AM-12PM
Please join Skagit Land Trust as we continue to improve forest health at our March Point Conservation Area! This is a great opportunity to visit a property that is typically not open to the public due to the site's sensitive heron rookery, which is one of the largest rookeries on the west coast. During the work party, we'll remove blackberry and other invasive species from the forest understory.
What to Expect: Blackberry removal involves using loppers to cut back canes and shovels to dig out root balls. Removal of other invasive species will entail similar work. Getting to the work site involves a 0.25-mile uphill walk through an active industrial area. Volunteers must be aware of their surroundings and willing to listen to verbal instructions from SLT staff. Getting to the work site also involves traveling up a steep and potentially muddy path with the help of a support rope. Volunteers should come prepared for a day of physical activity. Due to the nature of the work, we ask that all volunteers are 16+
