Tom Trakes, from San Jacinto Wildlife Area, advised that the next volunteer work day for San Jacinto Wildlife Area would be Saturday, August 5th. Tom told me that this work day will be primarily to build several blinds on the wildlife area so they can start brushing up for the coming season. Tom advised that volunteers should meet at the check station at 6:30 am and anyone coming out to volunteer should bring gloves, shovels and/or hoes, wire pliers and lots of water since it’s expected to be hot. After the work is done we will get together at a local restaurant for a well-deserved lunch (each person responsible for their own bill).
By the way, I should add that Tom wanted to apologize for the short notice on this one but they’ve had some equipment problems hold things up.
Hopefully, we’ll have a good turnout so we can get the blinds ready for the next step in the process, working towards another waterfowl season. As always, the more the merrier (and the less work for each person).
Tom also told me that they will have a date in September as the volunteer blind brush-up day at San Jacinto (exact date to be determined).
A good turnout for this one will help get things rolling to get SJ in “ship shape” for the coming season and we’ll all look forward to another great year of waterfowling.
