Terry Irwin, land steward for the Buxton-Simons Forest in Weare, has been working to build a community of volunteers around his reservation. He started with a trail restoration and dedication ceremony last summer, to which the donors and many of the neighbors were invited. Since that time, abutting landowners and community members have been in contact, excited about the newly refurbished trail, and wanting to know how they can get involved. A group of them hit the trail for a workday over Memorial Day weekend, with the primary purpose of opening up the panoramic mountain view that exists at the trails' end near the summit of Mount Wallingford. The group included land stewards Terry Irwin and Len Martin (Bockes-Ingersoll Forest) as well as abutting landowners Charlie Bowen, Scott Olson, Ashley Olson, and Alex Olson. Terry led the group in the view clearing project and sent in some photos afterwards... and they are already talking about another workday this fall!
