Friends Of The Cathedral Village Forest!
As we transition from a cool and rainy June into what will hopefully be a warmer and sunnier July, the forest is in need of some hands-on maintenance.
Join us Wednesdays in July anytime between 6pm and dusk to help pull weeds, stomp grass and generally give the place a bit of a spruce-up (pun intended).
Bring work gloves and wear long sleeves.
This week only (July 
, come out and meet master tree planter and former one-day tree planting world record holder Kenny Chaplin. Fresh off of planting 18,000 seedlings in 18 hours at Buena Vista (by himself), Kenny has donated 440 jack pines to our project and he will be showing us how to get them in the ground at a world record pace starting at 7:00pm.
Come out and see who will win, our gumbo soil, or Kenny (my money is on Kenny).\
