Thanks you to the volunteers who scrubbed the lodge to prepare for the team to move in! Thanks to Tomlinson Plumbing who helped us get the plumbing worked out and to Mc Guff Roofing for fixing the roof! The team plans to move into Munsee Woods this week!

I busted out my AmeriCorps uniform, circa 2000, to help the crew out a little!

Mount Honeysuckle after day 3!

You truly have to see in person how exspansive this pile really is. In comparison, imagine how open this beautiful forest has become in the past three days.

More Honeysuckle removal then on to outreach and rain gardens!

Today will consist of removing more asian bush honeysuckle and burning bush from the woodlands of beautiful Munsee Woods. Later tonight we have a small presentation to youth at the Indiana Academy on the history of the White River and Stormwater Pollution Prevention. Tomorrow some Maple 2 members will be spreading the word about AmeriCorp NCCC at an all day presentation to Southside Highschool students throughout the day. The other half of the team will be working on Muncie Rain Gardens.

Continued special thanks to McGuff Roofing for fixing the roof out at Munsee Woods! It won't be long before the team can move into the former Camp Munsee.
