One of the largest work parties in recent months removed a number of alders shading the grapes growing in the south-west corner of the Day Road farms.
Bart felling a tree while the others wait safely in the distance.
Once the tree hit the ground, the chain saw vultures swooped in limbing and bucking so it could be moved to the brush pile and await the arrival of the chipper.
Some of the trees needed roping to help guide them away from the deer fence separating the Crawford property from the Day Road farm — here Ed had the honors of climbing the ladder and affixing the ropes.
All in all an extremely productive day, thanks to the volunteers for all their help!
