- Tree and shrub maintenance (mulching, replacing tree shelters, removing vines or aggressive plants)
- Trail maintenance and building
- Fence repair
- Invasive plant removal
- Harvesting and processing berries, herbs, fruits and nuts
- Building simple structures
- Harvesting firewood and building materials

We occasionally work in areas with thorny plants, so please wear work clothing. We also recommend bringing layers as temperature shifts can be dramatic.
Many of our activities require gloves. If you have work gloves, please bring them, otherwise we can provide some. Also, please where water resistant shoes if you have them. Working with wet feet from rain or morning dew is not fun.
