p crew is currently working on volunteers might be removing invasive p
lants or planting native species in selected locations. \nParking: Ple
ase park in the main parking lot just past Talahi Lodge. Be aware of c
hildren as you arrive and leave as we have camp going on this time of 
year. \nTerrain: The terrain will be mostly easy\, but there are oppor
tunities to remove honeysuckle on steep hillsides. This is natural for
est\, so there are many tripping hazards in the form of stumps\, vines
\, sticks\, and rocks. \nThe Job: We will be removing invasive species
such as honeysuckle\, oriental bittersweet\, japanese hops\, and beef
steak plant just to name a few. These will be removed by hand pulling\
, and cutting with loppers or saws. TNI staff members will use herbici
de as necessary in very targeted methods. TNI staff may be using chain
saws or other power tools during the work day. \nOr we will be plantin
g native species in our demonstration gardens and other selected areas
. You will be using trowels and other small hand tools. Some workdays 
might also include some weeding of demonstration garden plots. \nWhat 
to Wear/Bring: Volunteers should wear safe\, sturdy shoes that they do
n’t mind getting dirty. Long pants are required\, long sleeves and a h
at are encouraged. Bring a filled water bottle. Please wear any extra 
safety gear you deem necessary. Basic work gloves and hand tools (lopp
ers and hand saws) will be provided \nPlease Note: The ticks are here.
Please bring and use your desired bug spray. \nYou can just show up o
r RSVP Here. If you RSVP you will receive a reminder email a few days
