WG Jones Volunteer Service | Citizens Environmental CoalitionIt’s time to volunteer again! You know you want to, but you know there are rules, right? So here they are:

  2. You must supply your own gloves and tools.
  3. Park at the education building, not in front of the office.
  4. If you are more comfortable wearing a face mask, you are more than welcome to.
  5. Limits on the number of people should allow for 6 feet social distancing. Be mindful of the distance.
  6. As always, bring adequate sun protection and water.
  7. If you have been exposed to COVID-19, please quarantine for 14 days before joining Texas Master Naturalists – Heartwood Chapter at the Forest.
