Citizens make a difference at Merrimac Farm
Wow! Volunteers are making a huge difference at the Stone House. We had a good showing for the Merrimac Farm work day last Saturday… we’ve about finished with sheetrock work, bathrooms are in working order and things are lookin’ good. Next we need to replace baseboards in some of the rooms and make sure we’re ready to start painting.
We’re pushing forward to get the job done and open the Stone House ASAP. We’ll be working again this coming Saturday, August 9, starting at 9:00 a.m. Check our online calendar here for directions and more information. Questions? Give us a call at 703.499.4954, email alliance@pwconserve.org… or stop by on Saturday to say hi and see what’s happening before you head off to hike the trail to Cedar Run!
We volunteer because we care
We volunteer because we think Prince William is a great place to live and we care about the future of our community. Volunteering is also a great way to meet new people who share common interests and start creating your own sense of community.
Next Saturday, August 2, we’ll be working on household repairs and cleaning at Merrimac Farm, beginning at 9:00 a.m. There’s lots to do for people with handyman skills and lots to do for the rest of us too.
On Saturday, August 23, at 9:00 a.m. we’ll be at Dove’s Landing with the County’s Historic Preservation Division hosting an easy hike through this fabulous property.
In September the first Virginia Master Naturalist Program will open at Merrimac Farm. This is a great opportunity for people to learn more about nature close to home. It also should be lots of fun, with opportunities to catch dragonflies, trap small mammals, bird local wetlands, tour stream restoration projects and discover forest habitats.
