Summary

Volunteer days for invasive plant removal at Anchor Diamond Park are scheduled for 7/18 and 8/15 (rain dates 7/19 and 8/16). Dan Russell (Saratoga PLAN) was identified as the point of contact for trail issues; ADP will close early on 6/29 for Ballston Lake Fire Department drills.

Kelly reported two volunteer work days for removal of nonnative invasive species (baby bittersweet and garlic mustard) at Anchor Diamond Park: July 18 and August 15, with rain dates July 19 and August 16. The BHBL Girls Soccer Booster Club will provide volunteers on those dates.

Dan Russell (Saratoga PLAN) confirmed owl sightings throughout the park and was identified by the committee as the point of contact for trail issues such as a fallen tree; the Town Clerk's office was asked to contact Dan rather than the Town for trail-related problems. The Monday Stewards plan a trail clean-up on Monday, June 29, and Wildwood will bring volunteers for light trail work.

The park will close at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 29 so the Ballston Lake Fire Department can perform drills in the park.
