KAH TAI LAGOON NATURE PARK WORK PARTIES

We will again focus on pulling Scots Broom and removing trash. We are making a noticeable difference but there is more to do. Park in the lot by the restrooms, behind Henry's Hardware, off 12th Street. Look for a white Chevy pickup and the green volunteer sign near the Benedict Street entrance southeast of the small pond. Wear layered work clothes and bring work gloves. We will provide homemade cookies, hot tea, water, weed pullers, and trash bags.
