Trout Creek Ranch Work Party -FALL
Join 5-10 folks to help at Trout Creek Ranch and beyond! Fence building is a priority, but other maintenance work could be included and can help with our restoration plans. We are partnering with The Nature Conservancy to fix and create fence crossings at their Borax Lake Preserve, which is just north of Trout Creek Ranch. Join us in some work and enjoy some time outdoors! Overnight stays are recommended and we have accommodations for sleeping indoors, outdoors, or vehicle camping, along with access to bathrooms/showers (see registration form for details).
Tools/Skills needed/most helpful: Ability to use hand tools. Ability to lift heavy objects preferred, but not required.
We’ll provide some snacks and beverages, but please bring your preferred food, water, and appropriate clothing for the weather and terrain (waterproof shoes or clothing that can get wet may be helpful). There will be bathroom access at the beginning and end of the activities, along with access to fridges/freezers and stovetops.
WHEN:
Sept 13-15 with overnight stay on Friday and departures on Sunday.
WHERE:
Trout Creek Ranch Headquarters (about 15 min south of Fields)
Google Maps Directions. (Additional directions will be provided).
