About the event
For the third year in a row, GBF is partnering with the West Carling Association to host a community cut at the beautiful Franklin Island in Carling Township. Those interested in volunteering can either boat out to the location on Franklin Island, or if you don't have a boat, you can meet the team at the public dock in Snug Harbour around 9am. GBF will lead a brief tutorial on all things invasive Phragmites, followed up with a few hours of cutting.
What to bring:
Old sneakers, water shoes, waders, or boots (you’ll be wading through mucky water)
Water bottle & snacks
Work gloves or heavy gardening gloves
Sunscreen, hat, and protective clothing
