Volunteers needed for June clean up of Gunstock Wetlands Walk

GILFORD — The June clean up of the Wetlands Walk boardwalk at Gunstock will be on Thursday, June 22, 9 a.m.–noon. Volunteer tasks include removing leaves from the surface and close to the boardwalk, trimming branches there and on the connecting trails, adding wood filler to the bumpers, also sanding and priming/painting it, installing Buy a Board plaques, removing invasive weeds, (boots are helpful for this), minor carpentry, scraping lichen and moss. If volunteers have hip boots or waders, bring those with you so fencing can be removed by the beaver dam.

Students under 18 must have a responsible adult with them, community service certificates are available. Snacks and water provided. Follow the volunteer signs, or you can walk ¼ mile from the parking lot just off Route 11A any time.
