The Workday consists of removal of some invasive species (privet, ivy) and removal of some downed trees and limbs, to prepare the way for planting some native species.    Here's a glimpse of what this pretty trail looks like. Should be even prettier after a little tender loving care. All the details are the same:   WHAT WE HAVE: 10 loppers for cutting anything 3 inches and smaller 1 wheelbarrow for moving cut debris (though most will be moved by hand) WHAT YOU CAN BRING: Work Gloves Recommended Your own loppers if you have 'em! A couple of chainsaws for anything bigger than 4 inches Fun and enthusiasm for this awesome new resource.  We hope you can join us for a good day and a good way to celebrate this nice piece of land! Send us a quick e-mail to soque@windstream.net. And thanks for helping us BEAUTIFY this terrific new outdoor recreation resource.
