We will be working in sandhill habitat, roughly ¼ mi in from dirt parking area.  Area is adjacent to a golf course in an exclusive community – noise will need to be kept at a minimum.

Workday Goals: Populate target areas of the restoration site with native species, and visibly reduce coverage of natal grass with minimal ground disturbance. Planting native grasses and forbs into an area of the sandhill restoration area, and hand-pulling natal grass

Suggested items to bring and to wear: Please bring plenty of water and snacks, some snacks will be provided. Long pants, closed toe shoes, hat and sunscreen are highly recommended. Also bring working gloves and your favorite work tool if desired. Insects are usually not a problem but bring bug spray if desired.

No restroom on site. Transport by car or truck to a bathroom at the Gardens (~5 minutes ride) can be accommodated if needed. 

This event is a partnership between Bok Tower Gardens and Ridge Rangers volunteers. It has become a continuous project because of the successful efforts of previous Ridge Rangers. Much appreciation to all who have contributed to its success!
