SUMMARY:Lower Tokai Tuesday Alien Hack
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join us for our weekly Tuesday Lower Tokai Alien Pull. \nJoin the regular gang by advising us at friendsoftokaipark@gmail.com of your noble and much-appreciated intent\, don a pair of long pants\, sturdy gloves\, sturdier boots and a sensible hat\, and bring a goodly amount of water along with you – and snacks if needed. If you have a pair of loppers or poppers to spare\, your willingness to share them will greatly enhance your reputation among those of us reduced to pulling out pines with our teeth. \nThus forearmed\, venture forth with us for a two-hour session of slaying dragons\, Black Wattle and other alien invasives\, before going home feeling righteously exercised and rejuvenated in soul\, mind and body. We generally meet at one of the gates on Orpen Road and\, to preclude you standing alone at an empty gate in inclement weather\, please sign up to our mailing list or follow our Facebook Events page to receive notifications of any changes closer to the time.
