Tricky Tree Work at Lower Moose Hill Road

We received a report in December of an unhealthy tree overhanging the Lower Moose Hill Road parking area, and we’re meeting early to drop and remove this before the lot fills with Saturday hiking/biking traffic. As we’re in the area, we then expect to head over to Landon’s Way, where a couple of large, but very dead Ash trees need to be dropped in a controlled manner. As we’ll need to clear much of the wood from either the parking area or a driveway, we have a need for sawyers and people who will roll logs and shift branches into the nearby woods. And anyone who would like to take this wood home for their stove or fireplace, is welcome to do so. Paul will have a chainsaw and other necessary equipment, but you should dress warmly and bring equipment you’re comfortable using. Note the early time, and meet us at the lower Moose Hill Road entrance to Westwoods, just across from Landon’s Way. [est 3 – 4 hours]

Rain 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. 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.
