Planned Activities
There will be two groups, one to work throughout the park trails assisting in clearing out potentially hazardous brush. The same group will hand prune invasive or harmful plants which have taken root on the forts.
The second group will work inside and around the Sullivan House to clean the site for visitors and prepare it for opening day in 2023. This will include dusting, mopping, airing out, vacuuming, and generally organizing materials.
