Today we wrapped up our summer season with some stewardship activities. We weeded and mulched the garden bed around the commemorative stone at the top part of the park. Meanwhile, several volunteers cut back the overgrowth on the trails and cleared the paths for use. Sam also removed some more trash from the wooded areas between the upper and lower park. We have a lot to be proud of here!

Though the volunteer group who had intended to attend did not ultimately come, a good group of volunteers came out to help tidy up the top part of the park! Volunteers pulled sassafras, mugwort, and multiflora rose from the slope between the commemorative stone and the forest edge just to the south. Meanwhile, Liz and Al planted butterfly milkweed, coneflowers, and coreopsis around the metal historical sign. We hope that the little garden bed below it will protect its legs from further lawnmower damage. Lastly, we planted two 'caramel' coral bells on either side of the commemorative stone, where the shady spot will benefit from its colorful foliage.
