Last week we worked at Three Sisters. Some of the crew replaced the rope and 2 stone steps that were found in disarray leading to the peak of the preserve. The others worked on clearing invasives in the lower area.
This week there are 2 projects: installing the marquee signs that have come back from the printer and clearing the trails at Simpson and Woodward. For the sign installation, Bart has created frames and will bring the auger for drilling post holes. Bob and Chuck have volunteered to help and could use an additional volunteer as this can be tough work. For the sign installation, meet at the Car Park at 101 Russell Road at 9 AM. Once that is done, depending on the time, the group will move to the next site. (We now have signs for 5 different preserves, and several have more than one entrance.)
For Simpson and Woodward, the tasks are clearing trails, leaf blowing, and replacing missing trail blazes. There are downed trees on Woodward trails, and on the Connector at Simpson, and these will require using your “judgement combined with experience” regarding whether to leave them to deter motor vehicles, or clear them. We will meet at the end of Lebanon Road and head out in both directions.
