Thanks to the gang who came out to start hewing two new logs and finish reinforcing the tent platform! Great work! The sun is deciding that evening work is probably going to need to "sunset" until spring though. We were racing against sunset and using flashlights and headlamps at the end.

Tues evening, as part of sign & timberhewing, we replaced the Southwick Pond property sign, which is a good thing because the Greater Worcester Community Foundation used that in their poster of local nonprofit orgs! This sign dates back to around 95-96 & was the 1st official property sign

The next sign frame came together (we now have 2!) & the St. George's Forest property sign is ready to go, & the Southwick Pond property sign is ready to be rehung! We also reinforced half of the tent platform!
