Walk ‘n Work – Westwoods at Peddlers Road

Our six ‘walk ’n work party’, and another chance to mix hiking and caring for our trials. This month we’ll be crossing the 660ft plank walk across the Great Swamp to both trim branches and vines from the walk way and examine the planks for winter damage. Anything that’s found will be recorded so it can be repaired later, and we’ll be free to continue our walk to the south before returning back to the trail head. We’ll just be working with hand tools … no chainsaws or heavy equipment are allowed on these work parties. Just wear warm and comfortable shoes and bring along your favorite gardening tools. Loppers and clippers are both useful, so both are recommended … but if you have some special garden equipment, bring it along and try it out. Please meet us at the Peddlers Road trail entrance @ 10AM. [est 1-1/2 – 2 hours]

Heavy rain will usually cancel any of these work parties, so if you have questions about the schedule, please feel free to contact me stewardship@guilfordlandtrust.org or Paul Proulx pauljproulx@comcast.net on the morning of each event. We’ll also announce cancellations or schedule changes by email, so it’s a good idea to check your mail before you leave the house. Paul also carries his cell phone (203-687-7756) on these events, so if you’re late and want people to wait, give him a call.
