I am forwarding information about a worthwhile activity.  I participated in
the first session of this yesterday, March 26.  Several students from U of L
also participated.  Some picked up litter; most worked on removing bush
honeysuckle from a section near the entrance.  Got a cool T-shirt in the
process.  The work is part of a long-term plan to remove invasive plants and
restore successional habitat in Caperton.  Metro Parks has been good about
trying to retain Caperton as a natural area. 

-----  forwarded message  -----
Caperton Swamp, located on River Road at its intersection with Indian Hills
Trail and River Road, has a long history as a premier birding location.
Join Metro Parks Natural Areas Division in a cleanup effort to restore this
landscape to its former beauty.  Volunteers will be removing trash (tires,
scrap metal and litter) and/or assisting in invasive plant removal. 

Water, tools and gloves are supplied. This opportunity is suitable for ages
14 and up. Youth under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Closed toe
shoes are required. Large groups may need to park across the street at Cox's
Park.

Remaining sessions are:
Saturday, April 23 - 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Saturday, April 30 - 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Saturday, May 14 - 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
