Hello!  I’d like to notify you that

High School Student Volunteers are needed at Ice House Pond in Acton!

 

 

Sunday, June 24

9 am-12 pm

Free Lunch and drinks!

 

 

“1st Annual Water Chestnut Pullathon”

 

Help hand pull the invasive water chestnut plant from the pond. Be part of the winning team with the biggest pile of plants! Prizes!

 

We will compete against other high school volunteers working on rivers in Billerica, Concord and Sudbury.

 

This is fun (and muddy/wet/physically challenging) work!

 

We have some canoes and kayaks; or you can bring your own.

 

a)      Paddle out onto the pond and pick plants from surface and pile them into the boat with you.

b)    help unload the boats, dump plants on shore.

For more details, please email me!

Thank you! 

Sincerely,
