Volunteer Opportunity This Wednesday at the
Elmore Holly Collection!

Calling all volunteers! The holly task force workday is scheduled for this Wednesday, August 14th from 9 until 11 at the UT Arboretum Elmore Holly Collection. If you can make it, we would love for you to come out and help attack some more vines and weeds. Also, if you have a battery weed eater, that would be very valuable to bring. The arboretum will be providing tools and wheelbarrows, but if you have some favorite loppers or clippers that you would like to bring, they would be appreciated. Bring your work gloves and enjoy some time outside with other volunteers helping us keep this valuable collection going for future generations! The weather is improving and will be a little cooler for us, look forward to seeing you!
