Buxton-Simons Forest Workday

View clearing at the top of Mount Wallingford is fun for all ages! (photo: T. Irwin)

In June, a group of volunteers led by Land Steward Terry Irwin completed their third trail workday on the Buxton-Simons Forest in Weare.  Terry has been a steward for this property since 2009 and he was instrumental in the restoration of a hiking trail on the property to the summit of Mount Wallingford.  Views from the summit had all but grown  in when the trail was restored in 2010, but Terry and a group of local volunteers has set to work maintaining the trail and expanding the view.  Expanding the views from the summit will have other tasty consequences too, as the understory vegetation here is mostly low-bush blueberries!  Come check out this great trail if you get the chance!
