United Way Day of Caring
Thursday, September 12th
PHLT is looking for volunteers to accomplish two trail improvements at the beautiful Kurmes Nature Preserve in Paradise Township.

Tools are not required but the following tools would be helpful: loppers, pruning saw, electric drill/driver, gloves. Please dress to be outdoors, wear appropriate footwear (hiking boots recommended) and clothes that can get muddy. 

Drinks, snacks and lunch will be provided.

Seed collection work days will be scheduled from mid-September through the beginning of October, depending on seed conditions.
