All Work and No Play...

I have been hard at work lately running trainings and field work days. The season has definitely started with a vengeance. I already am scheduled to work at least 7 weekend days this spring and summer :( and Andy has his own share too. We'd rather not work weekends, but when you work with volunteers outdoors, it's usually a necessity. We'll take equivalent time off during the week for compensation though, and hopefully fit in some really nice vacations and long weekends! Looking forward to the sunshine and fresh air. But not the blackflies (argh, they're already here...)




Geocachers clean up the Forest Society's Bockes Reservation in Londonderry, NH. The trash included a rusted car body and an entire unauthorized and elaborate paintball course in the woods! I learned a lot about geocaching, and will definitely see if Aiden is interested in this "e-treasure hunting" when he gets a little older!


We held a chainsaw safety training last week too. Imagine fifteen chainsaws running at once in a relatively small area... very LOUD, but it was also very controlled.
