April 9th

Last week we swarmed over Mendell’s Folly, clearing trails, repairing the bird stand and improving visibility from it, and siting the poetry plaques.

This week we are going to turn most of our attention to Bethany Farms and the Carrington Preserve area.  The trails need clearing and the Big Tree Trail needs blazes where the old painted ones are faded.  Useful tools will be leaf blowers, lopers and small hand saws.

Chuck and hopefully Joe, will return to Mendell’s to install the poetry plaques.

For those going to Bethany Farms and Carrington Preserve, we will meet at 30 Briar Road, 9 AM Wednesday, April 9.

Hope to see you then!

A few photos from last week:  Kevin’s signs of spring; Sheila’s shot of some of us; and a vintage intact Knudson Dairy bottle (now cleaned up) found emerging along a trail.
