GE Volunteer Day
GE brought over 100 volunteers to Blandford on Friday the 13th, and they put in over 400 collective hours of work. They cut logs, split and stacked firewood, built trail bridges, spread mulch on trails, trimmed a meadow, and removed old fencing. They did more in 4 hours than our small maintenance crew could accomplish in a full month! Kudos to staff Mark and Becky for having the work stations ready for 100+ volunteers!
We can't thank GE enough for all their support and hard work. Here are a few pictures of them hard at it.
THANKS GE!

August 28th Programs
GPS Finding Fun & Open Pioneer Buildings!
Since it is the 4th Saturday of the month, we have all the heritage buildings open from Noon until 5PM so bring the family to enjoy the blacksmith shop, log cabin, general store and picnic area. Free admission.
From 2-3PM we will offer a special program on using Global Positioning Systems (GPS). We'll give you the basic how-to, then do a scavenger hunt using the GPS units to help us find buried treasure. We will provide the GPS units or you can bring your own. $3 per person.

Adopt a Trail
Jeanne Griffin is our first trail adopter! She is still deciding which trail and what section, then she'll begin trimming bushes and shrubs and adding mulch when she has time.
You too can adopt a trail. Whether with your family, a group of friends, or by yourself, we have 4 miles of trails that need TLC.
One of our many trails.  |
