The Friends would like to give a big Thank You to the nearly 80 volunteers from REI, INDOT, INPAWS, Scout groups, the Friends group, the general public, and the park staff who came out on Saturday, September 22 for a National Public Lands Day volunteer event. Volunteers cleared invasive plants from the Walnut Plantation, finished marking the Tree ID Trail, installed a fence around the rain garden, and repaired and painted a bridge on Harrison Trace.
Treeline Tree ID Trail
Friends volunteers have worked throughout the summer to revitalize the Tree ID trail. They have armored wet spots, trimmed overgrowth, and labeled trees.
Indy Do Day
Thank you to the volunteers from Schneider Geospatial who came out to complete the painting of the Shafter Playground. This completes a project that was started last year.
Cherry Tree Shelter Painting
Several volunteers helped us put a coat of "park brown" paint on the Delaware Lake Shelter. After our painting, we all enjoyed a cookout.
