For the month of August we are presently planning two Park-Keeping sessions. Please note the earlier starting time: 9 AM.
Friday August 1, 9-10:30 AM. We will work our way along the Ridge Trail trail and the edge of the woodland, removing burning bush, bittersweet, and a few others. Tools used: loppers, clippers, shovel. The Ridge Trail is accessed from Irving Avenue, near Grotto.
Saturday, August 16, 9-10:30 AM: We will spread wood chips near north end of Parkside.
Here’s some general information about Park-keeping.
