Fall Road and Ditch Clean-up

Fall Road and Ditch Clean-up

This is a great time without bugs to help make our roads better. Trees are crowding the roads and keep the graders and plows away. By cutting down trees in the ditch right-of-way, our roads widen and dry which will keep them in better condition. Please come and help us make the Park better for all. Please trim the trees and brush back on your property and set it out for the chipper prior to the October meeting.  Chipping starts after the meeting.  Volunteers are appreciated.


Roadside Tree Trimming will be on September 19, 2020 9:00 am - 1:00 pm


Brush Clean-Up / Wood Chipper will be on September 26, 2020 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
