We will eat lunch at noon, and if needed, continue for another hour tops.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING?
Yourself, ready to work!

Shovel/Weed tools, if you have any extra, that would help!
Dress appropriately for the weather, as we will work in the rain if necessary.
Waivers will also need to be signed and will be provided on site. Any minors will need a waiver signed by parent or guardian as well. Please RSVP so we can plan work assignments, tools, snacks/lunch.
Many hands make light work! Yes, it is on a Friday, but this is the best time for the Open Space volunteers to join us and provide us with everything. Also, GCCO is sponsoring this Event and there will be a 2013 GOLD GCCO COIN in a FREE drawing for those who come and work their fingers to the bone. Okay, maybe not that much... but you do gotta CITO!
Last year was a great success!
"Please let all of your fantastic geocaching volunteers know how much we appreciate the work that they did for Douglas County Open Space last Friday. All 38 bags-worth of trash no longer litter the front of the property, and hundreds of mullein heads and other weeds will be absent along the Columbine Open Space trail. The volunteers were wonderful to give back a day of service to the public lands they enjoy! Cheers!"
