VT: First Friday Work Day at Love Creek – Bandera County

October 6, 2023 @ 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Howdy All!

We will be hosting our First Friday workday. We will meet at the bunkhouse on Clark Creek at 8:30am. Activities planned for the day vary.

I will bring some grubbing/digging tools, as well as a wheelbarrow (I’ll make sure the tire is aired up this time!!), but if you have a favorite grubbing tool you would like to bring, feel free to do so. Otherwise, work gloves, water and any snacks/food you might want are the main things to bring. For any newbies, we typically wrap up our workday around noon. If folks need to leave early, you are welcome to do so.

Directions to the bunkhouse are attached, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions. If you plan to attend, please let me know so we have a rough idea of how many people to expect and can plan accordingly with tools and supplies.

Thanks so much and I hope to see everyone on Friday!!
