A busy day at Ross Island Park

Mark Brummer, Brummer Tree Service donated and delivered wood chips for the third year. Thanks Mark for your support. Now we need people next Wednesday to help spread the chips. 9:30 am

 

Chuck brought two Long Branch Boy Scouts and their Scout Master to the island to help cut weeds. Fun.

Other volunteers worked on clearing invasives from the banks to provide a clear view to the stone hut from the shelter.

Rain Barrel Build at Long Branch Community Garden


Today 6 families left the LB Community Garden with rain barrels that they built from plastic 32 gallon trash cans. Chuck demonstrated the method on a barrel to be used in the garden and then, ably aided by Long Branch Troop 148 scouts, people built their own rain barrels. It was a fun and productive 2 hours. Thanks to Long Branch Concordance for donating the trash cans, Chuck Ficca for donating the hardware and expertise, Levester Burnley for bringing the Scouts, Troy Todman and her daughter for videotaping and general good will.
