We had a great turnout of volunteers at Oak Valley Road this morning. We had been rained out a lot of Saturdays this fall, but not today.
On group when N. along the RecPath, and the rest went S. We were cutting back brush along the side of the RecPath some of these areas were closed during the Eversource powerline construction.
There were also mundane tasks, such as finding, and clearing, drainage pipes under the RecPath and channels on on either side of the Path.
We cut back a 2' wide shoulder on each side of the 8' wide RecPath. Some native shrubs such as these Winterberries were preserved. Winterberry provide food for birds in late fall and early winter.
Cutting out around the corners too, for better sightlines.
Eversource had restored the portions of the RecPath that had been damaged. They mulched the crushed stone RecPath for some reason.
The stones along the edge with Spooner Swamp were a nice touch. The top course of stone needs to be checked. It looks like Eversource used coarser stone than we specified - something to be discussed for the final punch list with Eversource.
