All are invited to help clear invasive plants from Gilmore Pond and create a woodland park. This work is easy in that it requires just a lopper (WCLT has a few if you do not own one) to cut the plants. The plants are then dragged to a staging area where they will be disposed of. What we do need are volunteers to help us since we have several acres of plants to remove.

The work party will meet at the start of Gilmore Farm Road, which is the road into the Orchard Hill over 55 development.
