Dear CVTU members & friends,
I hope this email blast finds you all well and you have had a wonderful summer. Patricia Barkman (Al's trail founder, who helped secure grant dollars for tree plantings along Deep Brook and the Pootatuck River), has reached out to me, looking for support this Saturday (9/19) to help with clean up the Al's Trail in the vicinity of Deep Brook and the Pootatuck River confluence.
Due to the recent storms, there has been some brush and limbs that need to be cleared, in addition to invasive growth. We will be practicing good social distance measures (masks required) and I'm only looking for 3-4 volunteers so we can keep our distances. I will provide all the tools necessary to complete our work. Please bring work gloves and wear long pants and long sleeves. We will be meeting @ 9 am at the Deep Brook kiosk off Old Farm Road in Newtown, behind the "Park & Bark" dog park. I figure we will finish no later than one o'clock but I am appreciative of whatever support you can volunteer.
Please email me at neil.baldino@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering. I will then finalize all details by Friday evening.
Neil Baldino
