The views from the top of Silver Mountain on the Forest Society's Ashuelot River Headwaters Forest in Lempster were much improved last week thanks to a crew of land stewards and staff. Sue Lichty, the land steward for Ashuelot River, suggested the workday since the top of the mountain has been growing in steadily since the last time the view was cleared. This turned out to be the Land Management interns' last day, so they ended on a high note with their chainsaws running all day! We had about 5 chainsaws going and at least that many people with hand saws and loppers, so the work progressed quickly and we were done by 1pm... which was good, since the day was hot and we were all plenty tired by then. Sue baked homemade cookies to share, and we ate them while enjoying our newly expanded view before hiking down the mountain. Workday perfection!
