We will be revisiting the same rescue site.  (no need to be there at the stroke of six.  Just get there when you can.)  The details are the same as below, except we'll plant to park along the road by the site.  If you were there last time, the same spot as where we parked before.  More plants emerged since our initial scouting foray, perhaps even more types have sprouted since.

The site is a former woods, but it has been significantly degraded by the clear-cutting process.  Nevertheless, there are some but not a lot of woodland/woodland edge plants.  We saw pennsylvania sedge, columbine, culvers root, prairie and woodland violets, solomon's plume/seal, false lily of the valley, monarda.
Bring a trowel, pots, gloves, water and other personal supplies.  If you are able to, bring a tray, sled, wagon or wheelbarrow to haul plants back to vehicles.  The site is open and flat so the vehicles will not be a long way away.
You will be able to keep plants for your own  use.  However, we also have a site at which we can plant them (Celebration Lutheran, Sartell).  We'll take plants there and plant them at the end of the evening. 
When you get there we may ask you to sign an injury waiver form. 
Although we may schedule another date later in the year (no immediate plans to build on the site are currently in place) we would ask you to not return to the site individually at random times.
