Restored view! (Photo by H. Lindquist)
On June 15th a group of land stewards and Forest Society staff assembled at High Blue Reservation in Walpole for a workday. The tasks at hand were to build a new footbridge and restore a view cut that had grown in over the past 6 years or so. Bud Ross, the land steward for High Blue, has been a steward for over 17 years... since the very first class in 1994. One of his "classmates", Karl Putnam (Brewster Forest steward) was also at the workday, so it was a reunion of sorts... and they were joined by several other stewards including Bart Hunter, Hiel Lindquist, Ruth Ward, Walter Weeks, Alan Cort, and Len Martin. It was a beautiful day to be in the woods, and the work went quickly with so many hands.
