SUMMARY:Planting Native Plants - East River/White Birch Drive
DESCRIPTION:Last autumn\, Eversource clear-cut their transmission right-of-way all across the town\, and the small property the Land Trust owns on the East River was completely cleared of tall vegetation.  Eversource has provided us with low-growing native plants we can replant with\, and this work party will get these young plants into the ground.  The plants are small:  either plugs or 1 gallon containers\, but we have about 60 of them to get established.  If you’d like to help us\, please bring a shovel and trowel\, along with work gloves and good boots\, and meet us at the southern end of White Birch Drive.  We’ll be on the southern side of the stone bridge over the East River\, about 800ft from the intersection of White Birch and Nut Plains Road.   [est 2 – 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.

SUMMARY:Cutting/Clearing Trees and Spreading Woodchips - Spencer's Creek
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of the work from last month on the Sunset Creek Meadow.  First off\, we’ll be cutting up the trees Patrick Perdu dropped last month\, and hauling the wood and branches to the road.  This will allow us to mow the fields later this year.  If time permits\, we’ll also spread out two piles of wood chips to complete covering the area overrun with invasive mugwort.  If you’d like to help with the trees\, please bring along a chainsaw.  A shovel\, pitchfork and rake will be useful to spread the chips.  if you have a good sized wheelbarrow or garden cart\, please bring it too … it will be very useful for both hauling wood to the curb or moving wood chips.  Please meet us at the Sunset Creek Road cul-de-sac (the road is directly across from the Cox School entrance on Three Mile Course).  There’s plenty of parking at the cul-de-sac\, and more along the road.  [est 2 – 2-1/2 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.

SUMMARY:Quarry Guided Hike
DESCRIPTION:Explore the west side of Westwoods with GLCT member Stacey Smith. This wonderful hike scampers up and through a boulder field follows a stream in a beautiful\, mossy canyon\, and then leads to views of the quarry in Branford. The boulder field adds an element of challenge and intrigue\, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of rock scrambling. While not a flat hike\, the varied terrain and rock scrambling opportunities make it an engaging experience for outdoor enthusiasts\, especially young ones. Meet in the little lot on the right side across from the Solstice Living Center parking lot. This is at the end of Granite Road\, off of Moose Hill Road. More than a drizzle cancels the hike.

She will discuss their identifying characteristics\, ecological value\, and optimal growing conditions.
