Volunteer to help eliminate invasive species in the Thousand Acre Swamp, led by Gregg Sargis. 

Bring your willingness to work (along with gloves, boots, rakes, and shovels if you have them) for this new project. Refreshments provided.

Dress in hiking clothes suitable for weather conditions. Trails are muddy and bordered with poison ivy, so have appropriate footwear. Mosquitoes thrive in warm weather; protect yourself with insect repellant and appropriate covering.
