Volunteers are recommended to bring water, sunscreen, gloves (if they choose), bug spray, and to dress for the weather. Long pants and closed-toe shoes that can get wet are also recommended. Work will involve bending and some physical strength. In the case of inclement weather, this event will be canceled.
