Land Trust Work Parties This Friday and Saturday
To take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather forecast for the remainder of this week, the Attleboro Land Trust requests your help at two events.
On Friday, Oct. 23, there will be a work party at the Colman Reservation on Steere Street from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. Help is needed to scrape and repaint two signs and to put up a new sign. Details below.
On Saturday, Oct. 24, there will be a work party at the O’Donnell Nature Preserve on Bishop Street from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. Help is needed to clear brush along a trail that is under development. Details below.
As in previous work parties, we will follow these COVID-19 precautions:
If you can help, please let us know in advance.
We will limit the MAXIMUM size of the crew to 10 people.
Everyone on the crew must agree to wear a MASK.
Everyone on the crew must agree to maintain a 6-FOOT DISTANCE from each other.
These are precautions that naturally require teamwork and mutual respect among everyone on the crew. We hope you agree.
Volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Bring your own:
face mask (required)
work gloves
water
insect repellent (important due to West Nile Virus being detected in mosquitoes locally
sunscreen, if desired
Any cancellations due to weather will be posted on our website attleborolandtrust.org
