MCC is looking for volunteers to get down and dirty on Saturday, Nov. 6 at Penn Valley Park. The Bushwhacking event is aimed to enhance the park by greatly increasing public safety and make the park more usable by families and residents.
Volunteers (teenagers or older) should arrive at Penn Valley Park before 9 a.m. on Nov. 6 and park on Penn Drive, which is the road to the west of the lake. The activity will end at 11 a.m. Volunteers will need to provide their own bushwhacking tools (shovels, sickles, rakes, weed whackers, bow saws, limb loppers). Work will include cutting smaller bush honeysuckle, hauling brush to the pickup area, applying brush killer to cut stems and picking up trash. City employees will be on hand with chain saws.
Once the brush is collected, the parks department will load the brush onto trucks and haul away to appropriate landfill or for mulch.
Be sure to wear something you are comfortable in and don’t mind getting dirty. A good pair of work gloves is also recommended.
Water, juice, fruit and muffins will be available. Police officers are also scheduled to be on hand.
If the weather is bad and the event has to be cancelled, the notice will be posted on this link.
(Note: the Lung Hill Run is happening at Liberty Memorial that morning. Please keep this in mind while planning for parking.)
