Volunteer with Somerset Woods Trustees to help split firewood for the Somerset Woods Share, a firewood bank aiming to help those in Somerset County with heating emergencies by supplying small allotments of firewood as needed during the winter months. The purpose of this event is to start building up the SWS firewood reserves so they are seasoned and ready for distribution come winter!
Participants should expect to meet at Parkman Hill Farm (380 Parkman Hill Rd, Solon)
for a safety chat, volunteer sign-in, and PPE distribution. If you have it, please bring ear/eye protection, gloves, and boots. SWT can provide ear protection and gloves if needed. Water bottles are also recommended, extra water and some refreshments will be available.
