Work Today
Gang:
Although I am not quite caught up on my Fall yard work, I'm taking the afternoon to go work in the park, weather permitting. It is last minute and certainly not an official "workday", however, I thought I would put the word out in case anyone is free this afternoon and wants to come and help. My work will be in the new section of the White Loop where we worked on our last official workday. That is above the small Boy Scout bridge leading towards the back of the park.
I will be benching and making improvements to the trail tread. We did a great job on our last trail day, however, the dry conditions kept the soil from bonding; some of it has blown away. With the chance of rain at 40%, today is a great day to reconfigure the trail tread. If you come, bring your Maddox, a leaf rake, and/or a bowhead rake. If you can't bring tools but would still like to come help, don't sweat it. I am bringing extra tools and can share if you don't have any.
Also, as soon as the underbrush dies down from summer, I will be flagging the remainder of the White Oak Loop. When that is done, volunteers can go to the park at their leisure and begin clearing, i.e. you will not need an official workday to do the work. I hope to have the large loop open by Spring but it will take folks going to the park and working on their own.
Also, a special thanks to Kurt Kowalski for leading a pack of Cub Scouts as they completely closed off one of the troublesome logging roads. They did a fantastic job and have solved what was fast becoming an errosion problem. Kurt has posted up on the Boy and Cub Scout leaders message board letting local leaders know about the need at Rotary Park. Both the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts have been great partners in the rebuilding and maintenance of Rotary Park. Thanks, guys.
Happy trails,
Chris
