Kiosk Move and Cleanup at Spencer’s Creek

As part of our effort to make the Spencer’s Creek Trails more accessible, we’re changing the trail entrance to just north of the field. The tree canopy in this area will help keep the entrance clear, and not overgrown with poison ivy. As part of this shift, we’re moving the kiosk to this area, and making the new location more presentable to our hikers. We have much work to do today, and hope that many come out to help. We’ll need to have people working our post-hole digger, people cleaning out a large pile of branches and old wood scraps, and others figuring out how to lift the existing kiosk out of the ground. So please bring along garden rakes and shovels, and perhaps a pry-bar or two. And of course, a good set of work gloves and heavy boots. If you’d like to help us, please meet at the property on Three Mile Course, just slightly south of the Medad Stone tavern. If there’s not enough room to pull off the road, you can park up the road at the Cox School. [est 2 to 3 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.
