Snacks and water if desired. Mosquitos are out, so please apply repellent. Please shower with soap after being in the woods to wash any contact to poison ivy and do a tick check.
What we did: Together, we opened the trails in the central section of the woods with a brush hog, weeded around the benches and cut out a downed tree that was blocking the pond trail. Phil and Kim continued to use the brush hog later in the day in another area of the park, so I added the photo of Kim with that machine. Special thanks to Steve of Ann Arbor Guys for Good who came with energy and lots of tools! Thanks again and much appreciation to everyone who showed up, including those who didn’t want their photos taken!
