SUMMARY:Cancelled: Restoration Workday
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled due to weather!\n\nLocation: Depending on the weather
  and what the stewardship crew is currently working on volunteers might be
  removing invasive plants or planting native species in selected locations
 .\n\nParking: Please park in the main parking lot just past Talahi Lodge. 
 Be aware of children as you arrive and leave as we have camp going on this
  time of year. \n\nTerrain: The terrain will be mostly easy\, but there a
 re opportunities to remove honeysuckle on steep hillsides. This is natural
  forest\, so there are many tripping hazards in the form of stumps\, vines
 \, sticks\, and rocks.\n\nThe Job: We will be removing invasive species su
 ch as honeysuckle\, oriental bittersweet\, japanese hops\, and beefsteak p
 lant just to name a few. These will be removed by hand pulling\, and cutti
 ng with loppers or saws. TNI staff members will use herbicide as necessary
  in very targeted methods. TNI staff may be using chainsaws or other power
  tools during the work day.\n\nOr we will be planting native species in ou
 r demonstration gardens and other selected areas. You will be using trowel
 s and other small hand tools. Some workdays might also include some weedin
 g of demonstration garden plots.\n\nWhat to Wear/Bring: Volunteers should 
 wear safe\, sturdy shoes that they don’t mind getting dirty. Long pants 
 are required\, long sleeves and a hat are encouraged. Bring a filled water
  bottle. Please wear any extra safety gear you deem necessary. Basic work 
 gloves and hand tools (loppers and hand saws) will be provided\n\nPlease N
