Join us to attack the invasive blackberry and Scots broom that threaten our beautiful natural area. We’ll also remove plant protectors that are no longer needed.
Bring work gloves, garden clippers and a water bottle; bring your lunch if you’d like to relax after the work and enjoy the trail (and maybe watch the eagles!!).
We will provide weed wrenches for the BIG stuff, and lots of encouragement.
This event is designed for beginning and intermediate tri-athletes on an open course. The sprint triathlon begins with 250-meter swim (15-minute heats) in an indoor 25-meter pool. Athletes then move on to a 16K bike ride through flat neighboring streets and a 5K run through scenic Fort Borst Park. Proceeds will be donated to ALS.
Can you join student Derek Sibbald this December to provide support during this season of giving, sharing your one of a kind gift that will provide life to three people?
Local patients need blood transfusions for many reasons like cancer, chronic illnesses, blood disorders and surgeries. Be the change in our community and donate!
