CANCELLED – Volunteer for CMA Stewardship Day – August 5th
August 5, 2022 at 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Great Swamp Watershed Association’s CMA
Because of staffing issues, unfortunately we have to cancel the 8/5 CMA Stewardship Day. Please consider volunteering at another stewarding day, like August 12th, August 19th and August 26th.
Ready to get a little dirty and sweaty in the swamp? Need community service hours? College students, are you looking for something worthy to add to your resume?!
Join us on Friday mornings at the GSWA Conservation Management Area (CMA) to help us steward the land. We will work from 9AM to 1PM and enjoy some well-earned snacks provided by GSWA Director of Land Stewardship, Hazel England. We could really use your help getting our CMA tidied up by helping us with the following tasks: Carry in lumber • Build and elevate boardwalks which allows hikers to get through flooded areas • Clear branches and limbs from recent storms • Remove invasive plants • Spread woodchips on our trails.
Be sure to wear long pants, long sleeves, and hiking boots or old shoes you don’t mind getting muddy. Bring a hat and a reusable water bottle. We will provide bug spray, sun block, gloves, and all tools you will need.
You’ll work hard, but will also share in some laughs, and enjoy delicious snacks. What better way to spend a Friday morning? See you there!
Can’t make this day? Want to do more? Check your calendar for our ongoing CMA Stewardship Days taking place on Fridays from 9AM – 1PM throughout Summer 2022. Other volunteer days are on August 12th, August 19th and August 26th.
