John Flavin is looking for workers all week this week, Tuesday through
the weekend. He has some equipment on loan and needs helpers. Call John
at 744-0805.

For those who don't know about the project here are some details. There
is a colony of terns that nest on the Navy base property in Everett. The
Navy has plans to develop the area that would disrupt the colony. John is
trying to entice the colony to nest in a protected area on Jetty Island.
The first part of it is to remove the Scotsbroom and other stuff to make
it a more suitable habitat. The area will be fenced to keep people out
and John will be placing decoys to give the birds a hint.

If you can take a day off John can use the help.
