I'd like to thank all the NTC volunteers for making this such a great day. Earlier in the month, George had all the necessary materials printed and worked with the Applefest committee on the details for the booth. Claude, Scott, Nancy and Charlie were at the booth all day handing out materials and promoting the trail network.

It was great to see Art Cole (our Founder) who stopped by for a nice talk with the group.

Today, Jim Stone dropped the NTC Maintenance Trailer off at the model airplane field near Lil' Chauncy Pond. I ran the mower all around there and also the trimmer, so the area is now ready for the big influx of visitors that will certainly occur following Applefest. I spoke with Jim about the need for some sort of hedge trimmer attachment that could be added to the brush trimmer to cut the growth that hangs over the trail from above. I'm going to look into whether Honda makes such an attachment for our trimmer.

Where: Hudson St., Yellick parking area

Why: work day to repair eroding section of Coyote Trail along the Assabet river
