!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

This program will be rescheduled in the fall.

Do you love Lyme preserves and want to help maintain them by becoming a trail volunteer or a preserve steward? Please join us for a trail maintenance boot camp at Hartman Park in Lyme to learn what you can do on your own or as part of a work party. You will find out how to recognize the most common invasive plant species that we are working to control in the preserves.  Strategies for preventing tick bites will be discussed. You will be introduced to the free smart phone app TrackKit. Using GPS, the app tracks your path and allows you to mark location on trails to best report a problem or downed tree. This app can also assist you if you get lost. Preserve stewards have a bit more responsibility than trail volunteers: they monitor a preserve, may be asked to respond to a trail report, and lead work parties if needed.

Bring along heavy-duty gloves and light-weight tools: weeders, pruners, and/or loppers. Bring water. Snacks will be provided.

Meet at the Main Parking Lot of Hartman Park on Gungy Road, about 1 mile north of the 4-way stop signs at the intersection with Beaverbrook Road and Grassy Hill Road.

Registration required: Openspace@townlyme.org

If possible, it is asked that the app be downloaded before you come to the workshop.  Instructions to download of the app TrackKIt will be forwarded to you at registration if requested.
