SCLT and Youth, Inc. in search of helping hands 

Sheridan Community Land Trust Director of Marketing and Development Chris Vrba told Sheridan Media that on May 5, SCLT completed their first wildlife friendly fencing project with the help of the Schiffer School students and Bridges West.

If residents would like another chance to assist in these projects, volunteers are needed for fence removal and BBQ at Thorne-Rider Youth Camp in Story on May 21.

According to Vrba, SCLT and Youth, Inc., are inviting the public to a volunteer fence removal field day and BBQ in Story beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, at the Thorne-Rider Youth Camp.

Volunteers will assist with removing approximately a half mile of fence on the boundary of Thorne-Rider Youth Camp and Thorne Rider Road to help wildlife move safely across the property. The fence will be replaced with a wildlife friendly design at a later date. 

Volunteers will aid in pulling T-posts, removing staples and rolling wire. Work gloves, eye protection for anyone who needs it, water fence pliers and T-post pullers will be provided.

Once complete, volunteers are invited to stay for a BBQ. Volunteers are also welcome to bring a tent and spend a spring night camping at Thorne-Rider Youth Camp. 

Thorne-Rider Youth Camp is located at 31 Thorne Rider Road in Story.
