SUMMARY:Trail Marking Closing and Opening - Westwoods Sam Hill Road
DESCRIPTION:For many years\, unauthorized trails have become established throughout Westwoods.  There are many different reasons why this happens\, but it’s confusing for hikers and bikers\, against Land Trust Policy\, and also bad for the environment.  This will be the first of many work parties that will begin to address this problem by (1) better marking the trails we want to keep\, (2) closing and obscuring the trails we want to close and (3) educating our many users as to why this is very important.  Many hands will be appreciated … closing trails is most successful if we can block its path completely.  Gloves\, good boots and a strong back are what we need you to bring.  Please meet us at the Sam Hill Entrance to Westwoods. [est 2 to 3 hours] \nHeavy 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.

SUMMARY:Walk 'n Work - Westwoods at Peddlers Road
DESCRIPTION: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.

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.

SUMMARY:Clearing for Endangered Plants - Dunk Rock Road
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of our efforts in the autumn (and last month)\, where we cleared trees and woody plants from the former Eversource right-of-way: an effort to protect several plants ‘of special concern’ now that the utility is no longer maintaining the clearing from reverting to forest. This work party will 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 a mix of chainsaw\, lopper and hand-saw work\, so bring your favorite tools if you’d like to come along and help. Plan to meet at the Dunk Rock Road entrance\, parking in the lot near the Bishop’s raspberry field. We’ll head to the Blue Circle Power line crossing from there. [est 2 – 3 hours] \nRain or significant snow 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.
