Itinerary:

This month’s workplan has us working from Pigeon Hill to Little Kennesaw Mountain. We will be trashing trail creep, replacing some damged fencing, and in a couple of places repairing steps.

Note start time change to 8:30 due to winter weather.

 Last but by far not least. The National Parks require all volunteers to fill out the Volunteer Agreement Form. I have attached the link to this email. I filled this form out in January and for reasons none of the park’s staff can explain it must be turned in in person, not by email. If you have already done this, you do not have to do it again.

 Go to:

 https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/4370344510476080115/false?/invitation#/invitation

 Copy and paste the signup.com link into your web browser. If possible, I need you to do this by Friday afternoon.

 Just below the header in red is Volunteer Permission Form (2020), Click on this, print it out, fill it out, and bring it with you. This will save time checking in. If you have any question about this form someone will be able to answer them when you check in.

 

VOLUNTEER!! YOUR PARK NEEDS YOU!!
