The Project Learning Tree curriculum is designed for teachers and other educators\, parents\, and community leaders working with youth from preschool through grade 12. The lessons and activities can also be adapted for adult audiences. Topics include trees and forests\, wildlife\, water\, air\, energy\, waste\, climate change\, invasive species\, community planning\, and more. \nA workshop on utilizing the PLT curriculum is being offered to ESMN volunteers by certified PLT trainer\, Julie Head\, Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District Education Director. The PLT training will be a one-dayevent at the ESSWCD offices in Accomac April 8\, 2025\, 9:00am – 3:00pm. Cost is $11.00 for the Project Learning Tree guide.

SUMMARY:🧤 Volunteer: Brinkley Work Day
DESCRIPTION:Per Jim McDaniel: \nWe have planned two workdays to clear some the invasives at Brinkley.  And we have plenty!   Paul Anderson and I took out about 100 small ailanthus and callery pears last month but there are plenty of targets left including privet\, wineberry\, and multiflora roses! \nBased on what I have learned and the season\,  the jobs would be physical removal/pulling of small plants\, cutting and treating stumps of larger plants with triclopyr [herbicide]  and either “basal bark” treating  or “hack and squirt” treating some of the larger ones.  [I may also do some  foliar spraying of herbicide on the multiflora rose that is appearing.  Herbicide use is limited by state law.] \nI have the chemicals and applicators.  Volunteers will need to bring any tools they want to use – loppers\, weeders\, hatchets\, etc. – and protective gear like gloves.  Eye protection and a face mask/respirator are optional.   Please wear long sleeves and long pants to prevent skin exposure to chemicals. We have working restrooms\, but you will need to bring your own water and snacks. \nWeather permitting this is planned for Wednesday\, April 2 and 9.\n\nLog your hours under Better Impact Category 8\, Brinkley/Trail and Habitat Maintenance.
