**RESCHEDULED for Friday because Thursday is looking rainy/snowy.**
Blue Hill Heritage Trust is hosting our first volunteer day of 2025 on FRIDAY, April 4th, from 1 - 4 pm. We will be over in Sargentville at "The Landing" otherwise known to us as Edgehill (directions below).
We will be doing some property cleanup to help prep and clean up the area of woody debris for a new increased accessibility trail being built later this year. (The property has been hit with strong winds these past few years knocking down a lot of trees. We've since cleaned up the trees and now have a good amount of limbs and sticks left.) Volunteer tasks will be fairly straightforward, our goal is to go around the open portion of the property and pile all the down sticks and branches into piles so we can quickly and efficiently come with our chipper and chip them.
Please bring plenty of water, muck boots (recommended) or closed-toed shoes as the property is wet and has lots of woody debris, and work gloves. Blue Hill Heritage Trust will provide all the tools needed (we have spare gloves if you don’t have any).
Volunteers of all ages are welcome to come out and participate, this event is open to the public.
If you're interested in attending, please email Andrew at: stewardship@bluehillheritagetrust.org so we get a sense of participation numbers for the day.
