On Saturday, Sept. 30, the Garrison Union Free School invites the public to participate in National Public Lands Day by helping to clear and blaze two trails within the Garrison School's 181-acre School Forest.
We seek volunteers to reclaim and maintain historic trails before the final printing of a new, detailed orienteering map of the School Forest. Adults and children are welcome. Volunteers will meet at 9:00 a.m. in the school parking lot, located at 1100 Route 9D, Garrison, NY. The event will end at 3:00 p.m.
We will work on two brand new additions to our School Forest. The Green Trail will link Beckwith Lane to the South Redoubt, allowing students to walk to the School Forest from the school's grounds. The Purple Trail will link the South Redoubt to the Blueberry Swamp.
Please bring the following items: water, work gloves, a hammer, long-handles lopping shears, a bow saw, a pruning saw and hand pruning shears.
Contact John Griffiths, Principal, Garrison School, for more information. (845) 424-4733 x 230 or jgriffiths@gufs.org.
