Paraglider Pilots,
We're asking for volunteers for our work party in Riverside LZ, Sunday June 24 09:00: to tackle blackberries to prepare for routine mowing of this great paragliding LZ.
As last time, want to track number of volunteers and critical tools coming out.
Wanted in order of priority:
- paraglider pilot volunteers!
- gas powered hedge trimmer the ones with a long reach of teeth work best
- brush cutters (like weed eater but with blade instead of wire at base) loose out 3:1 in production compared to the type above
- HEAVY DUTY rakes
- shovels, picks
- pickup trucks & tarps to move cuttings
Please bring:
- work clothes that will protect you from brambles (coveralls etc) steel toes or work boots
- gloves
- bug dope
- tons of water
- picnic
- complete change of clothes so you can paraglide after
Please let us know if you plan on attending and what specific tools/number of tools you are bringing well in advance so we can rent what else we need.
(Lack of tools means standing volunteers...)
Burt recently asked all paraglider pilots not to barbecue or smoke in his field for concern regarding fire safety: so sorry no barbecue this time (or ever in the field), but we encourage all to bring out picnics and any other beverage you may want...
We've got paragliding students coming out to fly, so the plan is to take turns bush whacking while not flying...
Bridal Falls Road work party had 19 come out, let's see if we can top that!
