A big thank you to M&M Excavating who spent the morning Saturday removing large woody debris and vegetation from the new half-mile nature trail at Vanderbilt Area School. M&M took the time to build several brush piles with the woody debris that will provide habitat for small mammals and educational opportunity for the Vanderbilt students. This Saturday, volunteers will level out the trail and lay wood chips so that when students return in September they’ll be able to access their school forest.
