Certified Peat and Sod has given WOOSH permission to use its sod farm only during club launches. (See schedule.)
Do not use this site at any other time unless the club president has received permission from the owner!
This field supports small rockets and motors along with some mid-power, depending on the wind speed and direction. Launches at this site are "bring your own launcher" type events. Having your own launcher is not a requirement as club members with their own launchers are always happy to share.
Parking is only permitted on the highway. Do not enter the farm with a vehicle. Do not open the gate. All trash (motor packages, motors, igniters, igniter plugs, wadding, food or beverage containers, etc.) must be removed from the area. Please leave the area as clean as you found it.
