This is your opportunity
to get some hands-on time helping to maintain the Montgomery Wood Lot. Jack
Pizzo and his crew (Pizzo & Associates) are donating their time and
equipment to do some environmental restoration/maintenance work at the
Montgomery Wood Lot (just East of Montgomery Hall). They ask that any
volunteers bring their own gloves, dress appropriately, and commit to one full
hour of labor. His crew will provide the necessary training (for the pulling,
lopping and snipping), the ear plugs, and the eye wear. There is no need to
sign up ahead of time. Show up with at least one hour of time to spend clearing
up some brush.
