Bancroft School Help

The Bancroft Middle School were out on the Nick's Woods property this past Thursday the 8th.
They were cutting trail west of the Sargent's Brook running south from the dam and brook crossing. They got as far as the north-north-east corner of the boulder field, which ic a whole lot farther than I would have thought they could have cleared.

On the way out we caught sight of a giant "have a hart trap." It was large enough for a coyote, or possibly a deer, or a squatter. The paper sign on it said that there was an escapee from the Worcester Animal Rescue League and they were trying to get it back. Run, boy, run!

The Bancroft kids were great, did great work, and the trail they were working on is presently flagged with orange flagging tape.

Additional work to complete the trail length will hopefully come this spring.
