Bridgeburg Site Walk - Details
In preparation for the site walk here are some general precautions:
Sturdy boots – lands are uneven and wet, and there may be the occasional steep bank that needs to be navigated e.g. municipal drain banks
Gloves – as protection against thorny plants, poison ivy, and insects
Permethrin treated clothing and DEET bug spray – protection against insects and ticks in particular
Protective eye-wear – the thickets are dense in some places and there are many hazard branches that could cause eye injuries
Safety vests/fluorescent clothing – we will need to walk along the roadside to access the site, this will ensure safety along the roadway, and also ensure visibility within the thicket
