2014 WORK DAY A BIG SUCCESS!

The 2014 Work Day tackled the site adjacent to the 2013 site, completing work along the walkway from Main Street into the park.

A great job was done by the Town on site preparation then a strong volunteer turnout took on the task, finishing early enough for us to split into two groups with one working along the riverfront trail and the other doing some needed work at the 2013 site.

It was a very satisfying effort for all!

For 2015 and beyond the focus will be on getting control over resprouting of invasives and then on landscape restoration at the 2013 and 2014 sites, with an emphasis on creating natural habitat. The plan includes restoring the tree canopy as well as natural understory.

Thanks to everyone for volunteering! You can see pictures of the 2014 Work Day, courtesy of Duffy Schade, by CLICKING HERE.
