In the recent rains, the river rose briefly but significantly, perhaps as much as ten feet. Much of the trail was underwater for some time. On Saturday, July 11th, we’ll do what we can to clean up after that. Some of the timbers that line the trail need attention, for instance.
The Park District is also initiating a new set of projects along the fenced west edge of the nature area. The plan is to clear a number of small (3′x3′) areas and plant them with interesting native species. On Saturday, we’ll help with the beginning of some of this planting work. More on the Park District plan in a future posting.
There will no doubt be weeding (invasives removal) and trash collecting to be done, as well.
We’ll gather at the south end of the trail about 9am and plan to be at it until about noon. Come for any or all of that.
Please mailto:info@ronanparktrail.com if you’re going to come, so that we can plan to have enough tools and gloves and suc but

I’m sorry I won’t be able to make it on the 11th. I hope others can. A clean, well-tended trail is really a joy. So thanks in advance to all who work hard to make it beautiful next Saturday!
