There we were working in Leaders Park, clearing corridor, removing tree root balls, and digging trail. When, out of nowhere, we were attacked.
Apparently, wasps are the opposite of friendly when you dig up their nest. Three (3) volunteers and I made haste to vacate the area of the nest and dig elsewhere. Not one (1) escaped unscathed. I took two (2) for the team. I not sure of the counts for the other diggers.
ACE Hardware has a variety of wasp / yellow jacket trap things. I bought a variety pack of two (2). I’ll place them near the scene of the attack. Hopefully that will remedy the situation and I won’t have to call in the Napalm air strike.
The hubbub occurred during the Saturday morning session. In the afternoon session we dug elsewhere and made great progress. Today’s (Sunday’s) session has been cancelled due to rain / muddy conditions. There are only a few areas and sections left to dig. I’m happy to report we’re closing in on completion.
Ride On.
