July & August Projects
STEM and Moorestown’s Department of Parks and Recreation are finalizing their plans to improve the trails at two of Moorestown’s Open Spaces. The projects are designed to improve the trails through the construction of walkways, the re-routing of parts of the trails and general trail enhancement. The work will be performed at the Esther Yanai Preserve and South Valley Woods, two of Moorestown’s preserved open spaces.
The Esther Yanai Project is scheduled to start on 7/19 and is expected to last no more than three days. We plan on starting promptly at 8:30 and working until 11:30.
The South Valley Woods project is scheduled to start on 8/2, expected to last no more than three days. Just like at Esther Yanai, we’ll start promptly at 8:30 and work until 11:30.
We are looking for adults to help supervise the teenagers. The plan is for the teenagers to do the heavy lifting. Ideally, we would love to get commitments to work all three days of a project, but anything would help. Our plan is to have most of the work involving saws done prior to project start so that most of the onsite work will be assembly of the walkways at the desired site. 3-4 adults at each site would be perfect.
We’ll need wheelbarrows, rakes, and pruners to move mulch and re-route the trails, and cordless drills to assemble the walkways. If you are interested, please email markpensiero99@gmail.com and provide:
1. Your Name
2. Preferred Work Location
3. Length of commitment - 1, 2 or 3 days
4. Phone Number
5. Tools you can provide
