Clean-Up at Charron Farm Preserve on April 4

Posted on by

A Clean-Up will be held at the Charron Farm Preserve on Saturday, April 4, from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon.  We will appreciate the help of anyone who would like to join us in this effort.

Our goal for the Preserve is to maintain the hayfield for the production of an annual crop of hay as well as for the enjoyment of visitors hiking the property.  Our focus on April 4 will be to trim excess growth along the perimeter of the field to maintain a clear edge between field and forest.

The main tasks will be:

  • Pruning and cutting back brush, vines, and thorny briars along the edge of the hayfield
  • Removing some invasive plants entirely
  • Removing overhanging branches, for the safety of the operator of the tractor when the hay is cut

We will have tools you can use, but if you have your own, please bring some with you, such as:

  • Loppers, pruning shears, pruning saws, and other pruning tools
  • Weed whackers, brush cutters
  • Standard rakes and leaf rakes

Dress accordingly for protection against poison ivy and ticks. Please bring your own:

  • Work gloves
  • Water

Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Rain date is Saturday, April 11, 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. Any cancellations due to weather will be posted here.

Directions:

From downtown Attleboro, take County Street south for 3.8 miles.
Turn right onto Read Street and drive 1/2 mile.
Turn left onto Morse Avenue and drive 1/4 mile.
Look for signs directing you to parking on the field.

The Charron Farm Preserve is not yet officially open to the public, but it should be soon.  Stay tuned!
