Volunteers in the Park

Little River Regional Park would like to thank the six volunteers who came out on April 21 to cut back some young pines  along the summer lane residential access road.   The summer lane entrance plays an important role in the park acting as our ’back door’.  Keeping the road cleared and wide will allow better emergency access, material deliveries, better access to the far reaches of our bike trails and maintain a nice neat appearance for residential access.

                

Little River Park Volunteer Workday volunteers Marcia Eickmeier, Derek Tattersall, Chris Teo, Martha Turner, Marcia Geers, and Douglas Burket with Park Staff Mike DiFabio, Michelle Pesavento and Erin Nicholson (not pictured).

 

 

The weather was clear and sunny that morning. With the help of both veteran and new volunteers we were able to clear quite a bit in just a couple of hours.  The work was relatively easy, requiring snips, lopers, and pruning saws (and a lot of bending over).  Finishing by noon left plenty of time for some to hike the trails. 

Little River Park would like to thank all of the volunteers for all their help on this project.  Volunteers  like these folks are who make Little River Park special.  Please look for more volunteer work days coming up in the future.
