Volunteers Needed For McCoy Farm And Gardens Improvements

  • Thursday, July 23, 2020

Volunteers are needed at 10 a.m. on Saturday at McCoy Farm and Gardens for improvements.

Volunteers will be clearing the fence row at the Emma Bell Miles site, rain or shine. The purpose is to remove obstacles in the way of the stone masons who need to begin replacing fallen stones in the wall along Anderson Pike next week.
 
Meet at 10 a.m. in the gravel parking lot. Bring your own tools, including loppers, clippers, shovels, rakes, etc. Please wear gloves, clothing and footwear appropriate to the tasks.
A hat, bug repellent, water, and a snack are recommended.
 
Some of the work is not difficult and does not require a lot of strength. People are needed to clip vines and small brush, to stack and haul debris, and to rake leaves. However, some may want to help remove the existing wire fence and fence posts. Those volunteers will need to bring suitable tools.
