Ospreyers,

The spring work weekend for the MOS Irish Grove Sanctuary has been scheduled for April 12 and 13.  This is a great opportunity for some terrific birding along Rumbly Point Road and on the Sanctuary property or even nearby Chincoteague, while also helping spruce up the sanctuary house and trails.  Dotty Mumford, who is organizing the weekend, will be at Irish Grove from the afternoon of the 10th, returning home on the 14th.   You are welcome to stay overnight at the sanctuary house.  (There are new beds.)

Projects are centered on trail maintenance, including  pruning, boardwalk construction, and spreading sand on trails.  Tools needed will be shovels, rakes, pruners, saws, hammers, etc.  You would need to bring your own breakfast.  Lunch (soup & sandwiches) and dinner (spaghetti) will be provided on Saturday.

Please let Dotty know if you are planning to attend:   or 410-849-8336.  For more information about Irish Grove, visit the MOS website,  www.mdbirds.org  .
