Thanking Those Who Helped at Guyot Cleanup on Earth Sunday

To the Editor:

Many thanks to all who worked to tidy up the Guyot Walk, the three-block stretch of Guyot that offers a woodsy shortcut from Moore to Carnahan. Families and neighbors brought loppers and pruners, rakes and hoes, and their children to work in the great spring weather. In three hours we trimmed enough branches and vines to fill a dozen wheelbarrows, opening up the Walk to sunshine and fresh air.

Special recognition to the hardworking and enthusiastic children (and their parents, all of whom stayed the course); to Mayor Mark Freda, who trimmed weeds up one block and halfway down the other; and to Steve Hiltner, who helped us identify native plants and weeds.

We are looking into adding to the native plantings along the Walk, and invite all to join us, probably in late June, for another go, and again in autumn for planting.
