In preparation for a volunteer work day next week with some of Franklin and Marshall College’s incoming freshmen, Wilson Alvarez along with Farm Intern Miranda spent time today building the first of which will be a series of cascading small pools in the stream. Volunteers next week will be bundling branches of the overly abundant privet to be used to bolster the eroded stream banks against further erosion, building more pools, and clearing more of the stream and trail. If you or your organization are interested in joining us for this big, important project, please let us know!
