SUMMARY:Summer Trail Crew 2025: Axe Factory Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Summer Trail Crew 2025 is spending August 9th at Axe Factory Preserve! The main goal of this final day of Trail Crew is to make solid stepping stones in the overflow channel on the upstream trail\, so you’ll want to wear sturdy shoes that can get wet (sneakers are fine) and water-amenable work gloves. \nOther tasks include sweeping off the concrete bridge support at the upstream terminus\, hand-clipping along the trails\, and raking away weed-whacker detritus on both upstream and downstream trails. \nSee you on the creek! \nRain Date for this event is Sunday\, August 10th at 1oam. \nGetting together with friends for a casual work party in the woods is a great way to kick off the weekend. Many hands make light work\, so the more people show up\, the better the camaraderie and the quicker we get the work done. \nSave the Date for our Summer Trail Crew 2025! Just like last year\, we’ll meet up at different locations each Saturday during July and August to clear trails and complete projects to make sure our trails are clear and accessible. \nStay up to date on our events: Follow us on Facebook\, Join our Mailing List\, or Check our Events page.

SUMMARY:Summer Trail Crew 2025: Kelley Park
DESCRIPTION:Summer Trail Crew 2025 kicks off on July 12 at Kelley Park! Join our team of volunteers to cut back the brush on the John Romano Nature Trail. \nThis is a lovely trail along the creek that goes about a quarter mile from the back of the meadow to the railroad trestle downstream. \nWe will meet at the cul-de-sac at the end of East Grove Street (drive slowly). \nWear sneakers or boots\, bring work  gloves\, bug repellant\, and water. \nBring clippers or loppers\, if you have them. We will bring extra if we can! \nRain Date for this event is Sunday\, July 13 at 1oam. \nGetting together with friends for a casual work party in the woods is a great way to kick off the weekend. Many hands make light work\, so the more people show up\, the better the camaraderie and the quicker we get the work done. \nSave the Date for our Summer Trail Crew 2025! Just like last year\, we’ll meet up at different locations each Saturday during July and August to clear trails and complete projects to make sure our trails are clear and accessible. \nStay up to date on our events: Follow us on Facebook\, Join our Mailing List\, or Check our Events page.
