July 29 – DNR unloads wood, removes “stuff”

A DNR team of Chris, Connor and Mike made a huge difference today.

They loaded and unloaded 2800 pounds of lumber, hauled it down the beach and stacked it for use for boathouse repairs.

They also did is a great service in hauling obsolete materials & equipment off island. We’ve had a number of inoperable lawnmower stranded on the island, an elderly wheelbarrow we no longer used and scrap sheet metal that dates back to when the station was still in use. While volunteers share in taking personal & project trash, these larger items were beyond what volunteers could accommodate. We’re greatly relieved to be free of this stuff.

Many thanks to the DNR and Cathy Allchin who coordinated the trip!
