Join AmeriCorps Service Member Will O’Boyle for a day harvesting downed wood at Yankauer Nature Preserve!

PVAS Host: Will O’Boyle

Free and open to the public. PVMN volunteer hours eligible. Registration is required.

We are looking for a few volunteers to help harvest downed cedar at Yankauer Nature Preserve for Will’s special woodworking project at the Cool Spring Preserve Nature Playspace the following Monday. Volunteers with chainsaws are desired. Other volunteers are needed to haul logs out of the preserve and load on to a truck. Logs will not exceed 6 inches in diameter and 6 feet in length. There will be heaving lifting, but not too heavy for two people!

If you are bringing a chainsaw, please also bring your PPE.

If you are available Monday afternoon (1/29), please also consider signing up for Will’s woodworking project!

About our Host: Will has served at Potomac Valley Audubon Society since May 2023. Prior to this, he worked as an urban forestry surveyor and as a herbarium technician. He received his Bachelor’s degree from Frostburg State University in Literature and Letters, minoring in Forestry and Biology. He is looking forward to storytelling during family programs as well as fostering further love for the outdoors. Will is especially excited to learn and serve with PVAS’s staff and volunteers during the 2024 service year. Will is relatively new to the area (Native to Western Maryland) and is always looking for cool new places to hike and camp.
