April 21, 2018 - Work Party in the Vale of Cashmere Upper Pool

A great way to celebrate Earth Day with Mike, Ray, Mary Pat, Ruthie, Sarah, Marc, Dave, Lynn and Anne.

We excavated more stonework at the vernal pool and the channel in the upper pool, cut a 5-foot swatch on each side of the channel and moved a large tree from across the channel today and at the right side of the vernal pool.  There is a lot of stonework left to be uncovered.
