This event has been cancelled due to rain and mud. New clean-up day date is to be determined!

 Smoky Hills Audubon has planned a workday for this Sunday afternoon from noon till 4 o’clock. The public is invited to come out to the sanctuary. We can use the help maintaining our trails, especially through the wooded areas. If it’s your first time out, come out walk around and see what there is that you can help with. You can come and go as you please. Elijah will have a list of things you can help with.
