Wharton Burnt Meadow re-opened

On Saturday April 24th, a group of 12 volunteers re-established the trails that were impacted by NEFF’s harvest of Red Pine trees to prevent the spread of red pine scale. Volunteers trimmed trails, cleared limbs and branches from the path and raked the trails.

Thanks go out to: Scott Spence, John Reese, Maggie Coulter, Seth Deane, Michael Perciballi, Brit and Rita McKinley, Greg Mendes, Tom Gulick, Paul Funch, Rich Lynch and a few we missed.
