The second of five fall work parties Hogback will be on Sunday, Sept. 18, 9-noon. We’re clearing the former Great White Way ski slope to increase habitat variety on the mountain. The young woody growth (early successional habitat, or ESH) that will spring up in the next few years will reproduce the fruitful habitat that grew there in the 1990’s, after the ski area went out of business. A nice side effect is that for a year or two the views are opened up for hikers and the slopes are clear for skiing. We're trying to accomplish this using volunteer labor, rather than by doing a fund drive. Join us! If you can haul brush, wield loppers, or run a chainsaw, you can help. Meet at 9:00 in the field behind the white A-frame building just west of the gift shop on Route 9 at the 100-mile view. Bring your own favorite tool or borrow one of ours. Questions?
