We need your help. Come out and directly improve habitat for wildlife. We are hosting weekly bush-cutting workdays on Mondays from 1-3 PM. Training, tools, ecology tips, and safety gear will be provided. Meet us on the west side of Fermilab in the parking lot of the Lederman Science Center.
Many thanks to Corona tools for their donation of hand saws and loppers to FNA to help with this effort.
Read more about this effort and the tool donation at Shawna Coronado's The Casual Gardener blog.
