This is an optional team event. “Gloves and tools will be provided, but feel free to bring your own work gloves if you have them, in addition to anything else you need to be comfortable outside for a few hours (water, sunscreen, etc). Long pants and close-toed shoes are strongly encouraged.” We'll meet near the south side parking lot at 9 a.m. and expect to finish around noon.
