Tuesday, April 15 (9-11 a.m.)

Work party at Porter Preserve: Come and join us to freshen up the trails at Porter Preserve on Barters Island. Pruners and loppers are the tools of the day. You might also bring gloves and wear rubber boots.

Friday, April 18 (Time TBD)

BRHS Community service day: This year the plan is to meet at the Gregory Trail on Sawyer’s Island to clean up some old bog bridging and re-mark the trail where needed. Boots, gloves and old clothes are the order of the day.

Tuesday, April 29, 9-11 a.m.

Work Party at Pine Tree Preserve: We will meet at Pine Tree Preserve kiosk off of Route 91 and take a hike around the loop trail to determine how Mother Nature has treated it this winter. I will have a chain saw to take care of the bigger stuff and some signage arrows to better clarify the route if necessary. If you have some hand pruning tools bring those along as well. Wear boots, gloves and appropriate outerwear as required.

Please note: As soon as the temperature warms into the 40’s, the tick population will come off siesta. Be sure to wear protective clothing and repellent when venturing outdoors.
