Wild South's next volunteer work day in the Bankhead National Forest will be Saturday, February 20.  Work will continue on Balls Mountain glade south of Cranal Road.  Wild South is working with the Bankhead District of the Forest Service to restore this sandstone glade.

We will be removing downed trees, woody debris and vegetation off the glade and past the eco-tone.  This is vigorous physical labor carried out on a steeply sloped rockface.

Tools will be provided.  If you have a bow saw or loppers that you are especially fond of, please bring them.

Lunch will be provided to those who sign up before 5:00 on Thursday, February 18.

Bring work gloves and drinking water.  Make sure your footwear is up to the task.  Sturdy boots with lug soles or sneakers with good tread that will provide grip on slippery, steep terrain are essential.

Meet at the Warrior Mountains Trading Company in Wren, Alabama (11312 AL Hwy. 33, Moulton, AL) at 8:30 a.m.  If you prefer to meet us at the work site and need directions, or have a questions, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
