Who: Anyone who’s willing and able to help. Scarlett students are welcome to participate but you must bring a parent.
Where: Meet at the bench near the showcase at the main entrance to the woods.
What to bring: Hand tools if you have them – saws, loppers, clippers. Snacks and water if desired.
When: January 4, 2025 at noon – 2:00pm.
Why? We’ll continue to cut invasive buckthorn and honeysuckle along the north edge of the school property. Not sure what these shrubs look like without their leaves and berries? We’ll be happy to teach you to identify them by their bark and their bite.
- Clean up trash on Ellsworth Road where it intersects with the school property
- Cut down any honeysuckle that are fruiting and easy to identify this time year – anywhere in the central 40 acres
- Remove and replace broken boards in walkways along the pond
Never done this before: Welcome! We’ll show you what to do and how to do it!
What we did: It was quite cold, and the wind was strong, but we persevered and ventured out. We decided what sections we will replace. We removed 2 pallets that were really bad. The plan is to first replace a 24 foot section. Next, we will replace a longer section near the southeast on the pond.
