Planned Activities
The park is interested in removing small saplings from earthworks and fortifications before they can become large trees that could potentially damage the earthworks if they were to fall. This project will clear several earthworks and fortifications of saplings to ensure the long-term protection of the earthworks. This project will involve being in the woods, which will likely be in full green out. There will be insects and other critters in the area.
History or Educational Activities
The Park will have a guest speaker to share historical information about the Battlefield and the earthworks.
