Motorola Global Day of Service – October 13th
October 13, 2010
Event layout:
FPDCC and FOTP are planning for approximately 300 Motorola employees to come out and volunteer at Busse Woods on October 13th. Individuals will be placed into teams of 10 and will be led under the guidance of a team leader. FPDCC and FOTP are planning for two shifts in which 150 employees from Motorola will be working on various activities from 9:00AM – Noon and 12:30PM – 3:30PM.
The afternoon shift will begin at 12:30PM. Individuals will be asked to work for approximately 3 hours. In the event of any questions or concerns regarding the task assigned, questions should be directed to the team leaders, which in turn should be directed to the FPDCC and FOTP staff. Additionally, FOTP will have 2 first aid/water stations set up throughout the designated work area at Busse Woods.
Additional Information will be made available online, such as the leader training schedule, the site map, etc. It is recommended that all team leaders read through the information before the scheduled training.
Team activities:
Buckthorn Removal
Selected teams will be stationed at various sites around the preserve and will be involved in removal of marked buckthorn (including re-sprouts) and placing all brush along the curb for pickup by FPDCC staff.*
*Weather permitting, there may be two brush piles burning which will be manned by FPDCC and FOTP staff.
Litter cleanup
Roving teams will be placed at various start locations and will move along selected routes collecting litter in specified areas within the preserve. Volunteers are asked to bring the bags of garbage to the curb.
Priorities for the day:
Assignments for the day are still being determined. Your team may be engaged in litter clean up, invasive species removal (buckthorn or teasel) and/or mulching trees. More details will be posted on this web page as we finalize the plans for the event.
Work areas will be assigned at the Main Event Station, Grove # 24. Please see Site Map.
