21 -Bryan Park Workday
The next workday at Bryan Park will be Saturday, January 21 at 1:00 PM, weather permitting. If there is anything falling from the sky, or white stuff
underfoot, we won’t go. Maybe switching to Saturday will let some people come who haven’t been able to get out on Sundays.
The good news is that they have been able to start with the excavator. The bad news is we’ve only cleared about 60% of the trails! More good
news is that there is an Eagle Scout candidate who has been in touch with Roger & Alex about building bridges and some infrastructure for his
Eagle Scout project. This is really starting to shape up.
They hope to see you there, with loppers and gloves and hand saws.
