WORK PARTY: Hoadley Creek Preserve Fields

We will clear around large rocks and boulders in the fields to make them more visible when the fields are mowed. Meet at 9:00; park on the woods road (continuation of the private driveway at the right-angle turn of Sawmill Rd [1 on attached map]), first in/last out, or at the small pull off at the intersection of Sawmill and Leetes Island Rd [2 on map]. Bring loppers, clippers and work gloves. Rain cancels.  Call Bill Horne (203-488-6146) for more information.

Many of you specifically expressed interest in helping with trail maintenance. The Land Trust’s Trails Committee, chaired by Bud Dannheim and Matt Reed, focuses on blazing and maintaining the numerous trails on BLT properties. Work events are scheduled during the week, generally on Tuesday or Thursday mornings from 9:00 to noon. If you would like to receive information of where the Trail Committee will be working the following Tuesday morning, please contact Bud (Gunther.dannheim@gmail.com) or Matt ( mwreed81@gmail.com) and let them know of your interest.

The work parties offer a chance to get to know some of the BLT properties and to spend a little time with some great people. If you have school age kids, this is a chance for them to pick up some community service credits.
