Volunteers NEEDED for Tinker Brush Cutting 6/18/11 9am-noon
Every year, Islanders and others volunteer to clear away the invasive Asiatic Bittersweet on the Tinker Property. Please join us this year on June 18 from 9-12. Contact David Adams for more info. dadams12@myfairpoint.net; 846-9338.
Tinker Field Invasive Plant Mitigation Plan for 2011
The Yarmouth Parks and Lands Committee has budgeted for limited cutting of the extensive remaining Asiatic Bittersweet infestation within the wooded section along the road and will mow several times this summer. In addition, the limited areas of the stonewall within the field and the farm house foundation will be treated with a herbicide since that appears to be the only practical or effective way to eliminate the invasives protected by the wall stones. The volunteer brush clearing day is scheduled for Saturday, June 18’th, 9 to noon, and unlike previous years will concentrate on the wooded sections where simple cutting, clearing and mowing has proven to be effective (come and compare the current appearance to that of only a few years ago!).

Island Clean-up 9am 5/21/11 Sandy Point
WE NEED YOU!!!! IT’S IMPORTANT!!!
Our islands are beautiful and precious places; to be enjoyed and embraced. Unfortunately, every Spring we find that through-out the winter, the mark of human population has taken its toll. Yes, I mean LITTER!
Our annual island clean-up is very important. Each year generous volunteers spend a few hours collecting litter. These folks ensure that the enjoyment of the islands continues for all.
On Saturday, May 21st, we need your help. Please give a few hours of your time.
The group will meet at Sandy Point at 9:00am. From there, trash bags will be handed out and territories assigned.
BRING GLOVES and WEAR YOUR SAFETY VESTS. Additional safety vests will be provided to those who have not yet received them.
****ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: YOUR HOURS WILL COUNT AS COMMUNITY SERVICE. FEEL FREE TO INVITE FRIENDS FROM OFF THE ISLANDS TO HELP US AND EARN HOURS.
Questions call Joe Solmos 451-7083.
