We will hopefully finish what was started in June. As before, we will meet at Marcy Field at 8:00 AM and then shuttle to the top of the private roads on Little Porter. We will finish back at Marcy Field. Bring lunch and clothing for the day’s weather and temperature. The Chapter has four pairs of long-handled loppers, but bring your own if you have them.
