March

Saturday, March 24, 9 am to Noon - APPLE TREE PRUNING CLASS

March is the perfect time in the north to prune your apple trees. Snow cover has lessened, but it's still cold enough to deter bugs and disease from infecting the cut wound. Jim Kessler will discuss and demonstrate the why, where, how, what, and when to cut. He'll focus on four apple trees, beginning in front of the Wheaton House and moving west through the fields. Other trees along the way may also be pruned.

Program fee: $5, members; $15, nonmembers.

April

Saturday, April 14, 7 am - FOOD FOR THE TROUT FISHERS

Fall Brook and Silver Creek are designated Approved Trout Streams and stocked each spring by the PA Fish & Boat Commission. On this first day of Trout Season, the Friends will be on hand again to welcome fishermen to Salt Springs. We provide hot food and beverages for modest prices.

Saturday, April 14, 7 am - CHAINSAW DAY

Rather spend your time in the woods than in the water? Join us for another Chainsaw Day work session. We need volunteers with chainsaws to move and cut up the heaviest of the winter debris from the park trails. Food and t-shirts will be provided. We need a head count, so let us know if you can make it. Send us an e-mail or call us at 570-967-7275.

Saturday, April 21, Noon on - TRAIL DAY CLEANUP

Now that the trails have been cleared of the major debris, it's time to remove the remaining sticks and stones, pick up garbage, and make note of any remaining problems. Come help us keep Salt Springs clean. It takes volunteers like you and the Noonans, Kevin and Tami, to maintain our park.

Dress for the weather and bring gloves. We'll provide food, beverages and t-shirts. So we can plan accordingly, sign up by e-mail or call us at 570-967-7275.
