Did you enjoy the neat hike on the Bristol Trail on July 19? Did you notice the work that’s needed to make it into a real neat trail, friendly not only for hikers, but also for the Twisted Branch mega marathon runners on August 29, many of whom will be entering this part of the trail in the dark?
So, grab your work gloves, loppers, weed eaters, bowsaws, etc. and join us on Tuesday, August 4 or, if it’s raining, the following day. We’re starting at 8 AM, so we can get done before it gets too hot. We’re meeting at the picnic tables outside Bob and Ruth’s in Naples, to plan our workday. You can get a cup of joe, or anything else you’d like, from their fine breakfast menu. Most important, you can use their plumbing facilities, to start out with an empty storage tank. Donna Noteware is meeting us there, to get us access to the middle of the trail, through Longsdorf Rd. This is where those omnipresent multiflora roses are constantly encroaching on the trail
Hope to see you there. Let’s show how nice our organization can make this trail for our hikers and runners.

It is time for some trail maintenance on the Springwater Trail at Punky Hollow and Sugarbush Hollow in preparation for the Music Fair on September 17th and 18th.
The Crawdiddies Band will be at the 2016 Bicentennial Edition of the Springwater Music Fair and American Crafts Show
We will meet on Pardee Hollow Rd near the intersection with Tabors Corners. Our task today will be to clean up the Springwater Trail between the Punky Hollow entrance east of the school house, to Sugarbush Hollow and Tabors Corners. Bring loppers or clippers for cleanup and a weed whacker if you can. Other tools will be available as needed.
We will split into up to four groups depending on attendance. Each group will car pool to a different entrance to the trail, allowing us to cover the entire trail.
The Naturalists will drive to the entrance on the other side of the school house and will hike through Punky Hollow and Sugarbush Hollow and exit at Tabors Corners. This is primarily a cleanup task, trying to remove sticks and stones from the trail. At the midpoint there are some rose bushes to push back from the edge of the trail while they are small. We hope to have a car at the exit for this group to use to get back to the start point. In addition, a few branches encroaching across the trail will need trimming. No weed wacker is needed with this group.
The Tourists will drive to the top of Coates Road and will hike down to Pardee Hollow. Weed whacking and trimming as needed. Blazing signs at some corners are probably needed.
One Climbers Group will drive to the trail intersection with Pardee Hollow Rd below Sugarbush Hollow. They will head west up the hill across from the Sugar House. The will refresh the blazes and will weed whack. At least one weed whacker should get to the tree plantation near the top of the hill and focus on the large task of mowing a trail across that mostly open field. This group may either return to the cars below the Sugar House, or continue hiking out to the trail head near the School House.
Our second Climbers Group will drive to the trail head on Tabors Corners. They will walk from there to the Sugarbush and do a clean up on the west side of the hill. Blaze signs will be used to refresh the blazes heading up the hill. In addition, weed whacking up the orange trail will be done as time permits. If time remains, week whackers should continue across the field at the top and join the first group cleaning the trail through the tree plantation.
Please join us following the work for a dish-to-pass social at the Punky Hollow Barn. Please bring a dish to pass or make a small contribution to the social fund. Bring your own beverage.

Katherine J. T. Humphrey will present a discussion on what is new or current in home food preservation – like increased interest in fermentation, using less energy, using what is available locally and seasonally, deciding on what method of preservation would be best for a single person or for a household of many people, where to begin if a novice or an experienced home preserver, and the place to go for research based answers to questions, especially when it comes to safety and quality considerations.
Katherine was a full time Cornell Cooperative Extension Educator 1969-1991, and a CCE Livingston County Home Economics Program Leader. She has been a CCE Home Food Preservation Instructor since 1989.
Spring is here!, and it is time to get outside. The Finger Lakes Land Trust is sponsoring a volunteer opportunity at Wesley Hill. This is an opportunity for Springwater Trails to say thank you to one of our popular hike locations.
Wesley Hill is one of FLLT’s most iconic nature preserves, and on Monday, May 20th, it will be turning 20 years old! If you have never visited our westernmost preserve, this is your chance! Wesley Hill is full of beautiful vistas, gorges, and old growth trees.
Please join me on Saturday the 18th to help refresh the hiking trails and clear a short reroute, as well as conduct habitat management. At the end of the day, we will raise a glass of something bubbly to a magnificent place that is protected forever. Tools, work gloves, and refreshments (including N/A options), will be provided. We will meet at 11:00am at the WESLEY RD. parking area. Directions can be found here.
