This event will be led by Jared Belsky, Ecological Restoration Coordinator for Hays Woods.  He will determine the scope of work for the day based on park needs.  His email is jbelsky@pittsburghparks.org.

• Meeting Location: Agnew Rd Trailhead, Hays Woods (https://goo.gl/maps/cjYtLoxVe87HvwXZ9) 
• Parking: Lot available on site, free parking
• Bathrooms: Public Port-o-John available at the trailhead (EXCEPT for in winter months!)
• Equipment: Orange vests, gloves and tools will be provided by the PPC, as well as bug spray and Tecnu when necessary.
• Attire: If heat exposure is likely, please wear appropriate protective layers and sunscreen.  When it is cold, dress appropriately.  Sturdy, close-toed shoes (especially with ankle support) allow for safe maneuvering on challenging terrain.  Long pants and long sleeves offer a good first layer of protection for poison ivy and thorny shrubbery, as well as for ticks (light colors recommended) and other biting insects.
• No Running Water: Please bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.
• Safety: Work will often occur off-trail amidst sometimes dense vegetation moderate-to-steep slopes.  Please be aware that there are no formal trail markings or permanent signs in the park, so it is easy to get lost if you don't know where you are going.  We will all work to stay close together when working in a space and use a buddy system when walking the trails.
