BEAST Workday #1 took place on Saturday 21 Nov, and we had a great turn-out!
17 people Southwest
12 people Northwest
22 people Southeast and Northeast
Thank you to our BEAST volunteers!
BEAST Southwest: Ian Edwards reported: There were 3 teams assembled, 17 volunteers in all. Signing, picketing, and brushing was tackled in 3 different areas, and a lot was accomplished. Planning to re-group next week and figure out the next steps.
BEAST Northwest, Audy Bedard reported: Sat Nov 21, we had had 7 helpers, 2 of which were very junior workers, Katlin and Paisley MacHardy. A lot was accomplished, until we encountered bow hunters, which cut our day short. Hoping to complete trails next weekend. Volunteers: Andrew, Kelly, Katlin, Paisley ,Darin ,Dave, Audy
BEAST Northwest, Grant Penstone reported: Sat Nov 21, Had Todd Russell, and 4 new guys (and 4yr old George too) come out. They were Dan (and George) Paige, Chris Watters, Cameron Watters (high school volunteer hours), and Clay Timmons come and join in the fun. Dan, Chris and Clay are avid local sledders and will be back out to help some more! We got brushing/signage/pickets done from Sugar Bush Rd to 308/306 junction with the exception of two directional arrows on Ken’s property, as I ran out. Will return to put those up.
BEAST Northwest, Grant Penstone reported: Sun Nov 22, with Darrell Drew, Blair Howatt and Doug Argue we went up the BEAST 308 along Ramsay Concession 2B to Rath’s and we brushed, picketed and signed the trail behind their house. Then we did Marshall Lake Rd from Concession 2B to the new trail through Charlie’s (called Over Dan’s Hill). We got it all brushed and signed, just need to return to install a couple of directional arrow signs, as we ran out.
BEAST Southeast and Northeast, Shaun Cunningham reported: Sat Nov 21, we had 22 people out to help and got all of Richmond 95% done. Was a great day.
