Other Information (if applicable):

  • BHC staff will give a brief overview of the project and instructions upon arrival.
  • Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty/stained and will keep you cool in the outdoor temperatures. A hat and sunglasses are also recommended.
  • There is ample parking in the parking lot on site.
  • Feel free to bring your own refillable water bottle. Don't forget sunscreen and bug spray.
