Details on Upper Nanticoke

The Upper Nanticoke contains multiple tracts consisting of a lot of land with miles of boundaries to post and maintain. For this reason we are hoping to recruit a dedicated team of volunteers who can coordinate and work together on posting our boundaries at this network of preserves. Some of our boundaries here are remote, others are along roadsides and some require a boat trip down the river. We will need a group of volunteers with different skills to get this challenging but fun task done.

Some of the challenges in the Upper Nanticoke include swampy wet terrain, greenbrier, chiggers and ticks. The best time to do boundary work will be the late fall and winter when leaves are down, visibility is good and the ticks have died off.

Roadsides adjacent to our preserves are often the site of dumping of household trash or deer carcasses. We have not had a big problem with this but it could happen. While unsightly and upsetting, this seldom has an ecological impact on the property so we often can't respond very quickly.
