To all CRI members, friends and family:
Join CRI and the Charles River Conservancy on Saturday, January 9th for
a few serious hours of pruning! Last winter's pruning was well worth
it! Let's keep working on the shores around CRI! The CRC is a
non-profit organization dedicated to the renewal and stewardship of the
Charles River Parklands. They work with the DCR (CRI's landlord)
to help make these parklands more attractive, active and accessible.
It's also a great upper body work-out and you'll get to see all your
rowing friends for a few hours!
Date: Saturday, January 9th, 2010 Time: 9:00-1:00 pm. Rain, snow, or shine! Meeting site location: Please look for the white CRC Dump truck to be parked in the CRI parking lot.
Clothing: This event is rain, snow, or shine, so please be prepared for the weather! I also recommend wearing sturdy shoes or boots. John Broderick,
CRC Stewardship Program Director, will lead off the day with
instructions for proper pruning. He will teach you pruning techniques
along with how to 'read a tree' for pruning. We'll be working on the
banks of the river removing invasive species and pruning trees for pedestrian and boater safety on the CRI stretch of river.
As you all know this is a beautiful stretch of the river and needs
constant work. It can use a lot of our help to improve the visitor and
boater experience. And...help out our landlord and future relations with them.
Equipment: The Charles River
Conservancy provides work gloves, tools & supplies, permits and
supervision. If you think you'll need warmer gloves, bring additional
liners of thin gloves to wear under the work gloves.
Lunch: Please bring a bag lunch and plenty of water, as there is nowhere nearby to get something to eat. RSVP: Cindy Larson, rower@centrepointarchitects.com. Please
let me know if you will be joining us so that we can determine the
pruning strategy/priority plan and the amount of equipment needed. John
can handle up to 100 people for this event and it will take that many to get the area cleared.
I look forward to working with you all on tackling this task!
Cindy Larson, CRI rower
