It's Been Awhile



It's been a long while since I've posted, and today I was going through my camera looking at some photos that I have taken over the last few months that highlight some of our on course activities lately.  Unfortunately, I don't have any pretty pictures of the course under a blanket of snow....

Our new equipment arrived and many old pieces were hauled away!
Out With The Old!

In With The New!!

Of course, our biggest project this fall has been removal of all the dead and dying ash trees.  It's been a lot of work, but we are almost finished removals.  Next, we will be grinding all the stumps that have been left behind.
