Work party Sat. at Flat Creek Nature Area This Saturday, Nov. 8, Southern Conservation Trust is hosting the second work party of the fall and Fayette County citizens are invited. The work party will take place at the Flat Creek Nature Area, adjacent to Frederick Brown amphitheater on McIntosh Trail in Peachtree City. From 9 a.m. to noon, volunteers will remove litter from the wetlands, boardwalks and trails that make up the 513-acre nature preserve. Other activities include re-installing identification signs and spreading mulch, provided by Peachtree City, to refurbish the well used trails. Volunteers will also beautify the nearby Nature Center by repairing the post and rail fencing and landscaping. The most recent work party took place at the Line Creek Nature Area, which is also owned by the City of Peachtree City and managed by SCT. Several dozen students and adults enjoyed a beautiful fall day in September while cutting brush around the public fishing pond, clearing trails and picking up litter. “Joining a work party is a great way to enjoy nature, make new friends and do something good for the community. Many local residents are not even aware of these nature areas, which are such great amenities to Fayette’s quality of life,” said Abby Jordan, SCT’s executive director. Participants at this week’s activity should bring gloves and wear long pants, long sleeves and sturdy shoes. “We could also use wheelbarrows, shovels, and rakes to spread the mulch,” added Jordan. Drinks, donuts and fruit will be served starting at 9 a.m. at the Nature Center. For more information contact Abby Jordan at 770-486-7774 or a.jordan@sctlandtrust.org.
