Our annual spring cleaning workday at Lost River Reservation was as big as ever this year, with more than 20 volunteers coming in from all over the state. At this point we've run the workday so many years that there are some volunteers that mark their calendars year after year, making it a tradition to get Lost River ready for opening day. This spring we built several bog bridges on the Kinsman Notch Ecology Trail, pulled weeds, spread mulch and gravel, disposed of hazard trees, pruned the native garden, and installed signage.
The folks with White Mountain Attractions provided a delicious sandwich lunch, which we ate under their pavilion just as the skies opened up to dump a spring shower over everything. By the time we finished lunch, the sun had returned, and some volunteers went for a stroll through the gorge. Rarely do we get to offer such a treat as reward for a day of hard work!
