Tree protection at Marianne Williams Park March 25th
Attention all nature lovers and community members! Please join us on Saturday March 25th at 1:30 pm at Marianne Williams Park for a volunteer event. We’ll be wrapping some trees and cottonwoods along the river bank to protect them from beaver damage, and possibly doing a little weeding to keep the noxious weeds at bay.
This is our first afternoon event, and we’re hoping for warm and dry weather. We would love to have your help in preserving the beauty of the river and natural resources of our community. As an added bonus, every participant at Trout Unlimited volunteer projects like this one will be automatically entered to win an awesome fly rod and reel combo to be given away at the end of the season.
We will be meeting in the parking lot and walking to the site from there. If you have questions, or to RSVP, contact Trevor@elevateflyfishing.com. We look forward to working together and making a positive impact in our local river. Thank you for your support!
Hope to see you at Marianne Williams Park at 1:30 pm on Saturday, March 25th!
