Wear sturdy shoes and protective clothing. Conservation Corps will provide work gloves, eye wear and hand tools. To reach the volunteer site from Highway 36 and avoid downtown bridge construction traffic, take Highway 15 (Manning Ave) north to Highway 96; go right and follow 96 to Highway 95; take a left and follow 95 about one mile north to the Boom Site wayside rest.
