Tom Trakes, from San Jacinto Wildlife Area, advised that the second and third volunteer work day for the upcoming season at San Jacinto Wildlife Area have been scheduled. The two dates will both be on Saturdays, August 14th and September 18th. These work days will be primarily for building, repairing and brushing-up blinds and cleaning up the general hunting areas around them.

What is a good way to get palm fronds? I have one in the backyard but I could only get a few off of it between now and then.

Mexican palm fronds are best IMO....Just need to cut them green and shave off the thorns.

Would a nursery or maybe a golf course be a good place to call to get a good amount?

Landscapers or tree service companies are the best..........Palms everywhere in SoCal.

Yup, those are great. Like Steve said (and demonstrates here) please trim the thorns off first. Those will seek out and destroy waders if the thorns are left on.

That nice of you to miss the A zone opener just so you can come to the work day.

Nothing.....The work parties years ago were always a lot of fun and I would like to think made Wister a better place to hunt.

I remember my father taking me to a clean up as a young kid years ago. Realizing now the significance of what I was doing. Has the Wister Manager just organizing them?

Most of the organizing was by Friends of Wister (me)...When prior management was there, they were very up on getting help from FOW....Since Rick left, not so much...I may be wrong, but there seems to be a bit of a disconnect these days...It might be that FOW has not had anyone step up and do the organizing since the core group has gotten older.

Back when they had these didn't the Friends of Wister set them up? Is that group even around anymore?
