Tentative / Emma Schmitz (or Hamilton Viewpoint)

This week’s Parks collab is being penciled in back at Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook but this park is susceptible to cancellation due to staffing shortages like last week as the park needs to be cleared out each day of piles unlike larger parks. So we’ll keep Hamilton Viewpoint as the backup in case I get that last minute call that Emma Schmitz is a no go.

Stay with Heather along Admiral to continue addressing ground ivy, blackberry and weeding to prep for wood chips and new plantings.

Spruced! / Camp Long

We were asked by a large Girl Scout group to help facilitate a cleanup of Camp Long on Sunday. That will happen, but in my scouting I discovered the park looks pretty nice trash-wise. I talked to a groundskeeper who mentioned that they have some blackberry and ivy that could use some help though so I thought I’d see if the older scouts and anyone in our group would like to do some Sprucing while the younger kids scour the area for micro trash.
