Fill the Woodshed Work Bee

Fill the Woodshed! Saturday, October 17 | 10am – 1:00pm Agnes S. Andreae Nature Preserve https://landtrust.org/explore/agnes-s-andreae-nature-preserve/ Join our volunteer ambassador Richard Jenkins to fill the woodshed at the cabin on the Agnes S. Andreae Nature Preserve. Enjoy a fall day keeping warm by moving your body and helping promote conservation. If you have never visited this preserve, it is one of the most popular places – this is your perfect chance. Bring the family and work for an hour or until you tire out, then join on a guided hike or explore on your own. What will I be doing? We will be loading pre-split wood into trucks to drive down to the woodshed where a few people will be stacking wood. Why are we doing this? This beautiful cabin along the Pigeon River is open for non- profit groups and scout troops year-round. It gets most of its use in winter! This is a workday where families of all ages are welcome and encouraged. What do I need to bring? We will provide gloves and snacks, you bring the positive attitude and strong arms. Please bring a water bottle and wear sturdy closed-toed shoes and long pants. Are there bathrooms? A rustic outhouse is available on site. Can I hike the trails also? If you are interested in exploring the trails, Richard will lead a hike to the Nature Megaphone following the work bee. It is about a one mile fairly easy walk and meanders along and above the wild and scenic Pigeon River.https://landtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Agnes-S-Andreae-Nature- Preserve-Nature-Megaphone.pdf What do I need to do before I go?
