Last week the trails throughout the Welch Parcels were cleared, trees blocking the trail were cut and the stone steps coming off the stone wall were improved.
This week we are going to Hall Preserve. Our 2 young hybrid chestnut trees need to have their protective fencing removed and replaced with a much large fence, the area needs to be brush cut to allow passage, and we are going to try to cut a trail down to the stream through the barberry.
Useful tools will be lopers, hedge trimmers, shovels, leaf blowers, rootslayers, brush cutters, etc. Note: this is tick season, we recommend wearing clothing which repels ticks and/or has been sprayed with Sawyers tick protection.
The preserve is on Downs Road, just north of 144 Downs Road. To minimize cars parked along the road, park in Kerry’s driveway, which is 132 Downs Road.
We will meet at 9 AM, Wednesday November 6.
Hope to see you then!
