MUCC will provide a free lunch to all registered volunteers at approximately 11:30 AM. Volunteers are asked to bring their own work gloves. Waders, trash grabbers, trash bags and all other necessary equipment will be provided.

The big news was the commission brought back up the order to reinstate the year-round coyote season, and a vote will happen in August to satisfy posting and notice requirements.
