to the bridge over Deer Creek in Cassville, a distance of 1.5 miles. The
primary need is for volunteers with chain saws, heavy duty loppers and tree
trimmers. Lunch which will be provided. Contact Charlie Skoog

* Western Hendricks County, 9AM October 14-15th:  Vandalia Trail and
Crittenden Creek Trestle workdays - work on the trail all day Saturday and
possibly on Sunday. Trail pruning is needed near Amo, near the treatment
plant, and near Coatesville.  Extra limb loppers, pruning saws, or even
another weed eater or chain saw could come in handy. In Amo, a pickup truck
to haul wood chips and tools to remove chain link fencing from wooden posts
could also be useful.  If you want to bring a mountain or hybrid bike, we'll
also do a test ride on the trail in advance of hopefully opening the trail
for rustic cycling the following weekend. Contact Greg Midgley
