Ignoring dreadful weather forecasts, we had nine stalwart volunteers show up at the Preserve for our September Work Day. Fortunately, the weatherman was wrong about the rain, so we only had to brave the heat, humidity, and bugs! Julia and David Buzzard cleaned our interpretative panels at the Pocosin Boardwalk, Audubon Pond, and Deck, and Matt Matoon and Co-Chair Jack Coleman led crews to address overgrowth on the Branch Wood Trail and around the Greenshield Gate. The Rios siblings, Ava Elizabeth, Thaddaeus, and Nathanael tackled trimming and mowing duties, and John Grobe and Co-Chair and Fearless Leader Bob Clemens pressure washed the Pocosin Boardwalk (only made possible by the prior installation of a water line at the Pond!) A group Photo was taken before we became too disheveled. From left to right we have Matt, John, Jack, David, Julia, Thaddaeus (or is that Nathanael?), Ava Elizabeth, and Nathanael (or is that Thaddaeus?). Cleverly not pictured is the photographer, your Fearless Leader.
