More Stormwater “Garden” Plot Work Scheduled for Friday, September 9th

Starting 9 AM, Friday, September 9th, a volunteer work group (from DC Cares Organization) will assist us in preparing the plot by the upper parking lot. We will work until 12:30 or 1 PM. Meet at the upper parking lot. Bring gloves and sun protection. Water and Gatorade will be provided.

Raintree volunteers and equipment (especially shovels and wheelbarrows) are needed.

Work will include:

    • Remove turf and weeds
    • Wheelbarrow removed material to eroded access road along soundwall
    • Screen for rocks and debris
    • Till plot
    • Mulch plot

If time is available, we will address as many sinkholes as possible. Volunteers will need to remove any trash and all plant material from each hole, then place 4-6 inches of fill dirt and tamp down (have two heavy 4 x 4’s available) and continue process until hole is filled.
