2022-04-21 | Charlie Crosby | Burma Road | 2 | Poo-lution survey then spent an hour+ cleaning up around the parking lot. | |||
2022-03-26 | Bob Vogel | Green Hill Path | 2.5 | Cut, with axe, once thru very large tree across trail, 3' high. (See also 6/6) | Second cut through tree needed (See 6/6) | ||
2022-06-06 | Bob Vogel | Green Hill Path | 2.25 | Cut, with saw, second cut through a very large tree 3' above the trail. Rolled cut section off trail. | I didn't get any further up Green Hill Path, however it was 'ok' the last time I was there, with no other big obstructions. | ||
2022-06-17 | Ruth Bigio | Burma Road | 4 | Anna and I (two other volunteers cancelled) removed Mile-A-Minute invasive weed at Burma Road. We started at trail head (near Paul's Bridge), not much at first, increasing amounts as we went along, approximately half a mile. We also picked up a big bag of trash at the TH. | Anna Macdougall | My goal was to get to intersection with Fowl Meadow Path (trail marker #6005) where Mile-A-Minute is covering the entire area.. Removing this weed before it blooms is best, it can just be left on the ground. After blooming it needs to be placed in bags and taken to be incinerated. | |
2022-06-20 | Judy Lehrer Jacobs | Brown Path | 22 | We worked at the Farnham Connolly Park pulling mile a minute. We pulled most of the weeds along the trail that goes to the Neponset, but not to the very end. There is still a lot at the end as well as in the woods. | Keith Gardner, Wade Stanley, Dillan Millington, Emily Bonnaccorso, Sean Herlihy, Mike Sullivan, Ed Laracy, Matt Muto, Lance Harrison | There is still a lot at the end as well as in the woods. | |
2022-07-13 | Charlie Crosby | Burma Road | 8 | Pulled Mile-a-Minute vine along path, where flagged. Cut a path out into the meadow and started working along edge. | Ronnie, Chris, Judy, Julia | More MAM emerging along trail, and another patch out in the meadow. Logged in iNaturalist. | |
2022-08-10 | Charlie Crosby | Burma Road | 8 | Removed Mile-a-Minute from the Fowl Meadow west of the trail, where marked/flagged. | Sturdy Waterman, Christine Grundy, Linda Kipper | There is a bit more MAM present in that spot, and a little more along the trail. I will attempt to go finish this next week. | |
2022-09-09 | Judy Lehrer Jacobs | Indian Path | 24 | Cut brush. | Leila Mitchell, Patti Dobrindt, Genesis Gonzalez, Scott Lanes, Kayla Gelardi, Mike Suazo, Kelly Williamson, Priyanka Prabhakar, Que Nguyen, Sarah Lawson | ||
2022-09-26 | Charlie Crosby | Burma Road | 2 | Pulled the invasive Mile-a-Minute from an area missed during the summer. Assessed and documented remaining M-a-M in the area being managed. Sent detailed report to Julia & Judy. | There is more M-a-M in the Phragmites along the east/left hand side of Burma Road trail before the small (now broken) wooden bridge. And also in the meadow on the west/right hand side of Burma Road trail, go out into the meadow and head left/south along the shrubby border. | That bridge will need repair soon... | |
2022-10-06 | Joan Kagan Waldman | Fowl Meadow Path | 4 | Surveying, taking photos. Path along the river very narrow. Two stream crossings made of piled branches. Way better than nothing, but a bit tricky when slick. Parts of the path were difficult to pass through because they were overgrown, especially where plants were thorny. | Melanie Barber | ||
2022-10-12 | Charlie Crosby | Burma Road | 14 | We pulled 16 trash bags full of Mile-a-Minute vine from the Burma Road trail, but mostly in the northern section of Fowl Meadow. | Christine Grundy, Diana Gomberg, Bob Costello, Jane Kepros, Sturdy Waterman | Sturdy found more MAM farther north in the meadow and towards the river. We did not get to the patch farther south in the meadow. Combined, there is enough for another work crew. |
