Spring work set

DISCOVERY BAY — The Jefferson Land Trust will host a spring stewardship volunteer work party at Snow Creek Uncas Preserve, at the corner of West Uncas Road and Wycoff Road off U.S. Highway 101, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday.

The land trust will prepare the land for a school field trip, where students will visit forestry and stream learning sites as part of their annual water quality curriculum.

The task is to beat back nettles and create a maple-sheltered trail for the students to use.

The land trust will provide tools and gloves. Participants should dress for the weather and bring snacks and water.
