If you just need help clearing sticks, weeds and the like, maybe you can see if a local boy scout troop needs some community service merit badges? ...or maybe if the local government needs fresh ideas for how people work off community service?...
The latter was used at Osage Grove in the morning before they installed the baskets on opening day. They had a dozen or so juveniles out there raking up sticks and clearing fairways to work off their punishment.
Along these lines, some school districts have things like Rent-A-Wrestler or similar setups where a school sports team will come out for a very very reasonable fee (or just food) and help with clearing.
My HOA recently used this program for clearing a beach and some wooded shoreline, and it was a HUGE help.
