Save the date!

The annual garlic pull sponsored by the North Hero Parks and Recreation Committee is adding a social component this year. Kraemer and Kin is joining us, adding a "pull today, pour tomorrow" feature. Some of the plants pulled will be used in brewing. You can imagine drinking the resulting brew while overlooking City Bay, as you join a team of Islanders who relentlessly labor to eradicate this invasive - a silver lining!

Field games, including corn hole, wiffle ball and croquet will be offered plus a scavenger hunt. You can bring the whole family and the kids will be happily engaged in planned activities.

Bring your own lunch. Light refreshments will be provided.

Also bring hiking shoes, bug repellent, sunscreen, gloves and water bottle.

Bags will be provided and a photo of garlic mustard if you have had the good fortune of it not growing in your yard!

Hope to see you then. Rain date: May 17 from 12-2.

Other upcoming events will be posted soon for trail maintenance at Ingalls/Pelots/Footpath on the Island Line.

The third graders from CIUUSD visited Camp Ingalls recently with their French and Art teachers. They are studying the artist, Monet, and came to our park to do some plein air painting of our beautiful trees. It was wonderful having them and watching them work their magic with paint, brushes and paper.

Camp Ingalls Field House got a new roof this week! Great days for a walk at Ingalls and Butternut trails.
