After the hunt we will clean up the parking area and depart by 11AM.Folks should bring hunting equipment if participating in the squirrel hunt and are encouraged to bring gloves, a backpack, or anything else they might need for picking up trash.We will meet in the parking area just north of Houston Branch at the intersection of Route 306 and Turner Road.
