Blessed with beautiful weather, nine hardy volunteers participated in our September Newhall Work Day.  Shown above from left to right are Matt Mattoon, David Buzzard, Sue Groesbeck, Julia Buzzard, Morgan Thompson, Jose Vargas, John Grobe, and Jack Coleman. Not shown is your camera-shy photographer, Bob Clemens.

Matt tackled culling vegetation encroaching on the Branch Wood Trail,  while Jack and Sue dismantled the intern/greeter shelter.  David and Julia painted the new latticework at the pond utility area while John and Morgan culled dead branches from the borders of the pond trail.  Jack blew debris from the Newhall Trail, the Pocosin Boardwalk and the Pond Deck. Jose and Bob hauled three truckloads of debris from around the pond and two truckloads from the Branch Wood Trail.      Ultimately everyone had to pitch in to remove culled vegetation from the Branch Wood Trail. (We had to beg Matt to stop cutting!)

Our next Work Day will be on Saturday October 12th from 8:30 to 10 AM.  RSVPs helpful, but not required to: Rclemens318@gmail.com.
