Meet at the Sanctuary around 10 a.m. Bring work gloves and a sack lunch. Water, coffee, soft drinks and snacks are provided.
Occasionally, Stewardship Day is cancelled due to weather or other circumstances -- it's always a good idea to call in advance for information about the upcoming Stewardship Day--contact War Bluff Valley Sanctuary at 618-683-2222 or email site manager.
