Trail Trimming at SpruceHaven
Saturday, December 13, 2025
WRN Teens had invited WRN Kids to join them in trimming trails at SpruceHaven. The day was overcast and the wind was cold out in the open spaces, but in the forest it was almost cozy. The snow was quite deep and Teens coordinator Anita definitely got her exercise while breaking trail at the head of our line.
At a couple of places Anita mounted a trail camera, to later see which animals might go by during the winter. She explained that animals like to use trails just like humans do, in order to conserve their energy.
Adults, Kids, and Teens all worked at trimming branches. It was hazardous work, because snow could get dumped down your neck at any time. Finally, when we were tired and had all the branches that we could carry, we headed back out from the woods.
Thanks go to Anita and the Teens group for inviting us. There will be houses with some attractive greenery displays during this holiday season.
