Ridge Country Chapter Habitat Day at SGL 317

by

The Chesapeake Conservancy is providing 4,000 live stakes (alder, red osier, silky dogwood, etc.) and we’ll be planting those on our new woodcock project area on SGL 317.

This is easy work as the stakes just get stuck into the ground, no shovel needed!
Bring work gloves. The PGC believes that a group of 4-6 volunteers can complete this work in a couple of hours.

RSVP required to Matt.
