Snacks and beverages will be provided to all shifts, and lunch will be provided for those working the Thursday and Friday shifts. No lunch will be provided on Saturday shift. Volunteers are asked to arrive a few minutes before the start of the shift in order to allow time for check-in. Afternoon volunteers are asked to arrive at 12:30pm if they would like to eat lunch. Parking will be available at and around Abernathy Park. Signs will indicate acceptable parking locations. Volunteers must be 16-years-old or older. Volunteers under 18-years-old will not be able to operate the saw. All volunteers (or a parent or guardian for those under 18) are required to read and sign a release form before beginning their shift. Those wishing to work on the same crew should sign up for the same crew and are encouraged to sign up at the same time. All safety equipment and tools will be provided. You must wear closed toed shoes (work boots if possible) and are strongly encouraged to wear long pants and long sleeves. For more information, visit www.cityofclemson.org.
