What Is The Gold Level Team?

Gold Level Team volunteers are experienced with proper oriental bittersweet eradication practices, are on the Gold Level Team (GLT) list, and have been vetted by a Save A Tree (SAT) Day Event Coordinator. This strong vetting process is important for safety reasons and because it is required by the Town as a condition of having SAT Days.

SAT Day Event Coordinators may allow a non-Gold Level volunteer to participate only after a thorough orientation and observation of their work techniques. If the volunteer is proficient the SAT Day coordinator will have them added to the GLT list to receive future event invitations.

The Gold Level Team currently has almost 50 members with between 10 and 15 typically being available to attend any particular event. This is an outstanding participation rate for such a small group. The key to doing more in the long run is to increase the overall size of the Team. That is our primary goal and we depend on Team members to help spread the word.

SAT Day invitations are sent to the Gold Level via e-mail several days ahead of the event. Because of the short notice (due to the unpredictability of weather) it is not expected that members of the Gold Level make extraordinary efforts to attend events. If you can make it, great! If not, that's OK. Join the group when you can and don't worry about it when you can't.
