Flycatcher Trail

By: Mariam Siddiqui

Jenks Key Club is looking forward to a workday at the Flycatcher Trail on March 6 between 1 pm and 4 pm. Students are free to spend as long as they would like, during the designated volunteering time, helping the community while enjoying time outdoors with friends and family. This opportunity is a fun way to earn service hours and assist in preparing the Trail for Spring. The Jenks Flycatcher Trail is filled with hundreds of species of native plants and diverse wildlife. There is no limit to the number of people who can volunteer since the event will be held outdoors. Members of Jenks Key Club are invited to bring their friends and family to assist with the project. The weather forecast predicts that the sun will be shining brightly, nourishing the plants and soil and that the temperature will remain between a beautiful sixty-five and seventy degrees on the day of the event. One does not need to be an experienced gardener to volunteer, as long as they have a love for nature. t is not necessary to purchase gardening tools to assist at the event, as gloves and tools will be provided on-site. Volunteers should bring water bottles to prevent dehydration due to the nature of the work and warm weather. If you have sensitive skin and are prone to sunburn, sunscreen isn ’t a bad idea either. Masks, however, are mandatory to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Jenks Flycatcher Trail is located behind the Freshman Academy on F street. Anyone who has any questions may contact Ms. Wright. Jenks Key Club looks forward to seeing volunteers on Saturday, March 6 at its workday at Flycatcher Trail between 1 pm and 4 pm!
