Restoration Workdays—Thurs, Feb 20, 9-Noon; Sun, Feb 23, 1-4 PM

Hey folks,

Let’s try and get out to the Broughton Nature Preserves twice this week.  Both times, we will be working along the Blue Trail, starting at the GWB Complex #1 area.  (See directions below).

Thursday:  9AM-Noon.

Sunday:  1-4PM.

We will both be cutting invasive shrubs (burning bush, honeysuckle, etc.) and burning what we have cut over the last two workdays.  That should help us keep warm!

We will provide tools, gloves and good company (and hot chocolate).  Don’t let winter get you down–embrace it with some vigorous outdoor restoration work!

Hope to see some of you there.

Directions to GWB Complex #1:

  1. Enter the GWB Complex #1 off State Route 821.  This is the complex nearest Marietta, just off Route 60.
  2. Drive into the Complex and head left towards the Community Building.
  3. Once you cross the creek, turn right and go as far down as possible.  Park near the YMCA’s furthest building.
  4. We meet at the trailhead of the Blue Trail.
