These were our activities for Friday, May 12th

7:15: The whole group gathered for a delicious Diane Schwartz breakfast. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, and waffles.

9:00-12:00: Working in fields with Heath Stolee on his 50 acre farm. He bought this farm from his parents and is converting it into a chestnut tree farm. We worked together as a team to plant the trees.

12:00-1:00: Another delicious lunch from Diane Schwartz and Staci Reifschneider

1:00-1:30: Half the group worked with Scott Neubauer to plant spruce trees to help limit the impact of the wind

1:30-3:30: Working Denny and Scott Neubauer picking up rocks in their field. It was very backbreaking work! We also found very cool glass bottles lying around in the field.

3:30-6:00: Working with Mike, Franklin, and Ruth Fiscus. We helped put in a barbed wire fence on their small five-acre farm.

6:00-7:00- Dinner at Morris Stole’s house–our central gathering place.

Then we slept!
