Great Work Day!

We had another very good workday today clearing more box elder trees along Southwick Creek.  A special thank you to the following people that came out to help today; Ed, Jim, Dick, Lynn, Barbara, Kim, Eric and Don who came out yesterday and spent a couple of hours getting the brush pile ready for burning today.  We found the weather more cooperative than last week when it was around 6 degrees most of the morning. Our next workday will be on February 14th and we hope for a good turnout as we want to split up and have some volunteers continue on the creek and others go down to the lakefront an work on the dogwood that is taking over large sections of the sedge meadow. 
 
If anyone can recruit new volunteers that would be great as we have a lot of work to do the spring.  We have additional sections of boardwalk to construct, more clearing around the ponds when the snow melts and of course, garlic musturd will return with a vengance. 
 
Thanks again to everyone that helps as time allows.  We have accomplished a great deal through the years with a great volunteer force and would not have accomplished what we have without you.
