SUMMARY:Loop 9 Trail Work at Westwoods Dunk Rock Road Entrance
DESCRIPTION:A repeat of the workparty scheduled for the end of December and middle of February\, but both cancelled because of snow.  This is a combination of Green Rectangle blazing work and ‘trail enhancements’ that’s needed where the trail follows the southern edge of the Great Marsh.  Paul will bring the blaze materials and nails.  As we’ll probably want to cut small logs to ‘outline’ sections of the trail that are difficult to follow\, a chainsaw or good handsaw will be useful.  Dress for early spring conditions\, and meet us at the Lower Dunk Rock Road entrance at 10AM\, just across from the Raspberry field parking lot.  [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:The Extraordinary Caterpillar
DESCRIPTION:The Extraordinary Caterpillar is a 60-minute documentary that uncovers the vital role caterpillars play in sustaining the natural world. Through stunning visuals and engaging storytelling\, the film reveals how these small but mighty creatures support birds\, pollinators\, and the entire food web – while depending on native plants for their survival. \nFeaturing Doug Tallamy (Homegrown National Park) and Sam Jaffe (The Caterpillar Lab)\, the film highlights the powerful truth: although over 98% of life on Earth is smaller than a bee\, human-designed landscapes often overlook the systems that keep ecosystems healthy. \nFollow scientists and community advocates as they reveal the fascinating world of these tiny but essential organisms – and why they matter more than we think. \nThis program is free and open to all\, and is co-sponsored with The Guilford Land Conservation Trust\, but space is limited. \nPre-Registration Requested
