Last week we worked at the 101 Russell Rd parking area and Hidden Brook Preserve. A waiting pile of wood chips was distributed, and a second delivery arrived and was spread while we were there. The Japanese Knotweed at Hidden Brook was pulled up. And the driveway entrance area was addressed. We removed the poison ivy and debris. The stone wall was cleaned up and finished with squared off stonework at the edge of the driveway.
This week we are going to Three Sisters Preserve, where a hike is scheduled for June 14 as part of the Bethany 250th celebration. Projects include: picking up the trash alongside the road where everyone will park; weed whacking and leafblowing the trails where needed; finishing the stone steps, and pushing back on the invasives.
Useful tools and items will include weed whackers, leaf blowers, garbage bags; root slayers and other tools for pulling up invasives, and tools for stone work.
We will meet at 1154 Amity Road at 9 AM on Wednesday.
