 ortunities to remove honeysuckle on steep hillsides. This is natural fores
 t\, so there are many tripping hazards in the form of stumps\, vines\, sti

 honeysuckle\, oriental bittersweet\, japanese hops\, and beefsteak plant j
 ust to name a few. These will be removed by hand pulling\, and cutting wit
 h loppers or saws. TNI staff members will use herbicide as necessary in ve
 ry targeted methods. TNI staff may be using chainsaws or other power tools
  during the work day.\n\nWhat to Wear/Bring: Volunteers should wear safe\,
  sturdy shoes that they don’t mind getting dirty. Long pants are require
 d\, long sleeves and a hat are encouraged. Bring a filled water bottle. Pl
 ease wear any extra safety gear you deem necessary. Basic work gloves and
