Members of the Holcomb Farm Tree Trail team cast an invitation to anyone interested in becoming a volunteer or in expanding their already existing volunteer role on the trail to meet at the Farm’s workshop on March 14. Several folks arrived that morning to learn about the tree trail and what part they might play in maintaining it.
Member Mark Kennedy introduced the program and gave a brief description of the approximately 40-acre, 130-tree arboretum and the areas where new hands would be greatly appreciated. Mowing, battling invasives and watering the young trees take a large proportion of the team’s time and talent.
Other members of the group were also present to add perspectives and answer questions, including Cat Kadrle, Eric Lukingbeal, Jack Lareau, Peggy Lareau, Shirley Murtha and Steve Perry.
At the conclusion of the meeting, several in attendance signed up for upcoming workdays, and a few took a preliminary hike up the trail with Peggy Lareau.
