What we’ll do together:

This activity requires walking on uneven, sloping terrain and performing tasks that involve bending, pulling, and lifting. We will be working a short 10-15 minute walk from the Science & Learning Center, which has bathrooms and running water. We will use hand tools to cut and bag noxious weed species.

Optional Guided Hike:

Join us for a post-service guided hike on the Hummocks Trail. This 2.4-mile hike will take us through remnants of the 1980 eruptions and the forests that are returning.

What to bring:

  • Wear long pants and sturdy shoes
  • Come prepared with layers for the weather. This may include sun protection (such as a hat and sunscreen) and/or rain gear.
  • Plenty of water. Water will be available to fill water bottles.
  • Sack lunch. Snacks and beverages will be provided.
  • If you have work gloves, loppers, and eye protection (glasses, safety glasses, or sunglasses), please bring them.
