One view from Mt. Wallingford (photo: T.Iriwin)
Terry Irwin, land steward for the Buxton-Simons Forest, has been back at it organizing workdays to clear a spectacular view from the top of Mount Wallingford in Weare. He's building a local cadre of helpers now and is quite self-sufficient, stopping in to pick up enough tools for everyone and then dropping them off after his workday is finished. A few days later, land management staff will receive a report and photos of the work completed - voila! On this latest workday there were five participants including abutting landowners Remi Lisee and Charlie Bowen, land stewards Terry Irwin and Len Martin (Bockes-Ingersoll Forest) and the Forest Society's VP of Land Protection, Paul Doscher (who also happens to live nearby in Weare). The views were significantly expanded, but Terry reports that there's still work to be done next spring!

It seems humans are not the only residents of Weare that appreciate all the work on Buxton-Simons Forest. Charlie Bowen, an abutting landowner, sent this photo in of a mother black bear and her three cubs just after the workday. (photo: C.Bowen)
