Thanks to a great group of volunteers for helping out in Robinson Woods this past weekend! Our August Saturday Work Party had volunteers from Northeast Runners Alliance, and we lengthened the boardwalk & filled in some wet spots on trail. 🪵🪚💚

If you're interested in a similar event, we'll be improving another boardwalk in a different section of Robinson Woods tomorrow pm (Tues 8/11) -- maybe see you there! https://www.capelandtrust.org/events/event/tues-8-11-work-party/
