Tom Trakes, from San Jacinto Wildlife Area, advised that the next volunteer work day for San Jacinto Wildlife Area would be either Saturday, August 4th or Saturday, August 11th. Tom told me that this work day will be primarily to clean out and make ready the 65 water control structures on the wildlife area’s duck ponds so they can start flooding for the upcoming season. Tom said his preference of dates is for the 4th but won’t know for sure until at least the middle of next week (watch for an announcement of the exact date here on SoCalHunt). Tom advised that anyone coming out to volunteer should bring gloves, shovels and/or hoes and lots of water, since its expected to be hot. Tom also told me that if there is enough interest they may have a small (25 student max) hunter’s education class on the day of the volunteer work day. After the work is done we will get together at a local Mexican restaurant for a well deserved lunch (each person responsible for their own bill).
Tom also told me that they have tentatively set Saturday, September 22nd as the volunteer blind brush-up day at San Jacinto. Again, when this date is determined for sure you will see it here on SoCalHunt.
Hopefully we’ll have a good turnout as 65 water control structures is a lot to clean out and, of course, the more the merrier (and the less work for each person).
Again, watch SoCalHunt for final details of both upcoming volunteer work days.
