Spring Cleanup 2021

April 24, 2021

On April 24, 2021, twenty Friends and Neighbors spent two hours in the woods collecting every bit of trash, including an old boot, an antique water bottle, many other “historic” artifacts, and much broken glass. Thanks to everyone for removing the unnatural from the natural. We also got a lesson from Conservation Land Steward Michael Ratner on how to identify and safely remove invasive garlic mustard and bittersweet.

Every year around this time, a spring opens up in the woods, draining down towards the Lehigh-Harvard path, and spilling over to run down into the Ottoson parking lot.
