Clearing for Endangered Plants – Westwoods Red Triangle on Moose Hill Road
With Eversource abandoning their distribution lines through Westwoods, several plants ‘of special concern’ and now established in the former right-of-way, are threatened as the trees and woody plants take back the clearing. This work party is part of continuing effort to prune these back as the power company formerly did, and work to maintain the threatened plants as a part of the Westwoods ecosystem. This is all lopper and hand-saw work, so bring your favorite garden tools if you’d like to come along and help. Plan to meet at the Red Triangle Trail entrance, off Moose Hill Road. This is about 1/2 way between the two Moose Hill Road trail entrances … look for a large green gate on the eastern side of the road. The gate will be open, with plenty of parking just beyond the gate. [est 2 – 3 hours]
