Summary
The Friends of East Rock Park continue to be caring stewards of the park. They covered a lot of ground in the park picking up trash. They also focused on a particular path called Betty’s Way where they weeded and mulched along the edge of the path, planted shrubs besides benches, spread wildflower seed and pruned shrubs and trees. Much of East Rock Park is natural vegetation and the group worked to restore succession of healthy ecosystems by removing invasives from trees and the forest floor. The volunteers worked alongside Youth at Work high schoolers part of the time which was a highlight for everyone.
