Overcast With Birds

The skies are overcast but the birds are singing away.
The Blood root is in bloom and the the Cascades are flowing.

CROW HILL

Yesterday was a busy day for the Trust!
Our Volunteer, Nick, was our on the ground manager for a cleanup at Crow Hill.
The Worcester geocachers agreed to take on Crow Hill as a CITO event (Cache-In, Trash-Out.)
They were joined by a team from Holy Cross students as part of Holy Cross Cares Day.
They got a ton of work done!

GRIPHOIST TRAINING

Yesterday also saw Colin out at Wachusett Mountain with the Appalachian Mount Club Worcester Chapter taking a Griphoist Class. More or less this is the art of moving enormously heavy objects and getting rocks to fly through the air.
