Fall 2011 Clean-Up Day at LOT #5

November 19, 2001 - 9:00-12:00


Starting
The day started out cold (just over freezing) but it warmed up as the morning went on. The sky was clear and the ground was not too muddy.

Arriving
People started showing up at 8:30 and work started between 8:45 and 9:00 am.

Working
20 volunteers worked to check the trees and clean up or replace the protective tubes.

Working2
Although these trees were planted in 2004, the same year as the ones at Flint Hill Crossing, because of the better soil and more water most
 were much larger than those at Flint Hill Crossing.  A majority of the trees were so large that they no longer needed their protective tubes.


Working3
 Working on the CREP (Conservation Resource Enhancement Program) trees.

Scenic

Working4
  By 11:00 or so, most of the work was done and it was time to clean-up.

Cleaning
          Up
Cleaning-up after the Clean-Up. Tubes that were removed from the CREP trees were either
 disposed of if damaged or kept for re-use if they were still in good shape.
We accomplished everything we had set out to do and were done by 11:30 thanks to a lot of good work by the volunteers.
