Make sure to bring clothes toed shoes, long pants, and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty! Insect repellent and sunscreen (if it’s sunny), can also be nice to haves. We will have gloves available, but you’re also welcome to bring your own.
We will have lunch available, but we encourage you to bring your own water!
