Last week we had one of our two yearly Parsons Reserve - DNRT trail work parties. These events are important to ensure the daffodil field is in great shape for the busy season in the spring. We continued our previous work to make well-defined trail boundaries. We also have been working to transplant daffodils out of the paths and into emptier spots. The trail crew also added a new bench so you can take a seat and enjoy the view!
