Loop 6 (Nature Trail) Work – Westwoods at Dunk Rock Road Entrance

Our work party on the 31st of May didn’t address all the Loop 6 issues, so we’re expecting to finish these off today. The four projects that need doing (numbering is from the original list): (11) Wet area – Move trail to west side add drainage into marsh. (12 & 13) Two wet areas – move trail to east. (14) Wet area – Reroute trail around vernal pool. As with the prior work party, there’s much to do and we ask you come prepared with the tools of your particular trade. For the trail relocations, we’ll need a couple of chainsaws, and a lopper or two. Paul will have one saw, and arrange for some heavier tools to be available. He’ll also bring the blaze materials and nails. Dress for early autumn conditions and plan to meet us at the Lower Dunk Rock Road entrance at 10AM, just across from the Raspberry field parking lot. [est 2 – 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.
