This hands-on training event will begin with an in-class session and continue outdoors, where you’ll experience the challenges and rewards of fieldwork firsthand. Please come prepared for a full day of activities:

• Clothing & Footwear: Dress in layers suitable for varying weather conditions. Sturdy, waterproof boots are recommended, as we may be working in wet or uneven terrain.
  

• Food & Water: Bring enough water to stay hydrated throughout the day, along with lunch and snacks to keep your energy up.

• Community Building: Connect with fellow nature enthusiasts and enjoy the camaraderie of working together to make a real difference.

• Explore remote old-growth Forests: Embrace the challenge of navigating scenic, yet rugged terrain. This is your chance to get off the beaten path and be a hero for our hemlock trees!
