SUN EXPOSURE | HYDRATION | HYPOTHERMIA Weather can vary, so bring layers, rain gear, sun hat and sunscreen to be prepared. Carry and drink lots of water on the trail. It may also be a little wet and chilly! If you feel tired or weak, let your crew leader know and take a break.
POISON OAK There is a risk of exposure to poison oak at the work site. Have your crew leader point some out to you if you don’t know what it looks like. Clean with Tecnu (which V-O-Cal provides) after the work day, and be cautious when handling your dirty clothes. Always wear gloves when handling tools.
MOSQUITOES | TICKS Mosquitoes are active this time of year so bug spray and long sleeved, lightweight shirts are recommended. Ticks are always a hazard; light colored clothing makes them easier to spot when you check during and after the project
SNAKES Snakes are present on the property. Use caution when walking the trails and when picking items up off the ground.
SHARP TOOLS Please listen to your crew leader’s tool safety talk and observe proper tool use throughout the day.
