20th Aug - Weeding on Reforestation Plot at Lower Peirce

What is it all about?

A relatively new reforestation plot, the saplings on the "CasuarinaPlot" are still too young to have crowns large enough to shade thesun-loving weeds out. Enthusiastic muscles are therefore needed todestroy the underground network of the aggressive weed known asSmilax- a spiny vicious looking climber that has been smothering someof our trees near the forest edges.

Time: 20th Aug, Sat, 9am – 12noon

If you are coming, please be prepared to work in the open field under the sun·

• Wear long pants (unless you want to have scar-marks on your legs??!!!),
• Long-sleeves shirt (strongly recommended),
• Covered shoes (you will be walking among leaf litters at times)
• Enough water,
• Insect repellant(optional),
• Sunblock (optional).

Note: Do have a full breakfast first.
