This is an opportunity for anyone interested in volunteering and preserving our local environment. Whether you're a chapter member or someone wanting to learn more about Trout Unlimited, we welcome your help! This event is free and open to the public, all are welcome!
BGTU will provide yard waste bags and a small quantity of gloves and hand tools. Please bring your own gloves, shovels, rakes, glasses, etc if possible. We recommend wearing lightweight pants, long sleeve shirts, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and appropriate footwear for walking in dense vegetation or in the creek if desired.
Bring a water bottle and bring some snacks if you need them!
We look forward to seeing you at the creek!
