We will continue the clearing of woody shrubs and trees from the field on the Stony Creek Limited Partnership Preserve to maintain the old-field character. Bring loppers, small handsaws, sturdy hand clippers, and work gloves. Park on Long Point Rd or Wallace Rd (the far intersection of Wallace Rd with Thimble Island Rd, opposite Long Point Rd). See the website for location information and directions. The work parties offer a chance to get to know 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. Call Bill Horne (203-488-6146) for more information.
