Weather Causes Postponement of Volunteer Fence Removal and BBQ at Thorne-Rider Youth Camp

The Sheridan Community Land Trust and Youth, Inc, volunteer fence removal field day and BBQ that was scheduled for Saturday, May 21, at the Thorne-Rider Youth Camp in Story has been postponed due to impending inclement weather. The fence removal and BBQ will now take place at 1 pm, Saturday, July 23. According to information from the Land Trust, volunteers will help remove approximately a half-mile of fence on the boundary of Thorne-Rider Youth Camp and Thorne Rider Road to help wildlife move across the property safely. 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 invited to bring a tent and spend a summer night camping at Thorne-Rider Youth Camp.
