It was great to see you yesterday, Mannie, and to be a part of this event! I really enjoyed it and despite the wind, it was perfect tree planting weather. I think we made excellent progress in replanting the East Woods and I look forward to coming back and planting more.
A nice bonus was the afternoon "Irish Brigade" hike led by Ranger Mike Gamble. A great way to end a perfect day!
Thanks to everyone on the staff at the battlefield and CWPT for putting this together.
