Fascines Workday Postponed

Safety First

As is often necessary, I did a safety survey of the site of our planned "fascines" workday. It was an easy decision to postpone the project. Snow has drifted onto the rail trail access, making the mile long walk impractical. Even if we get heavy rain tomorrow, the slush will be 3" deep. The biggest reservation however is the icy condition of the downhill access to the stream & spring. It is too dangerous, even with the safety ropes we use. (see pics)

There is no sense having someone get hurt. Our top priority is to work safely at all times. It won't hurt to defer for at least a week, perhaps two.

I will keep you posted. Thanks for offering to help.
