This month, a large youth group from First Baptist Church will help remove brush (privet) in Rosser’s Meadow. Since they are inexperienced in privet removal, experienced privet removers are needed to guide this group. If you have experience in removing privet (brush) or want to learn how, please stop by.

Please bring your favorite work gloves, or shovel

Water will be available.

O.S. Gray Natural Area has no restroom facilities, but Kroger is nearby.
