ClayWorkDay

These pictures are from the KyBCH first official work day which was held on May 10, 2008 at the Clay wildlife Management Area in Nicholas Co., KY. A group of 8 men and women met at noon and spent about 5 1/2 hours working on 5.5 miles of trail on the "Lower Unit" or west side. We removed approximately 30 trees which were across the lower half of the last leg of the trail down to the Licking River. It was a beautiful day. For the first few miles we pruned and trimmed trees and branches along the trail and then when we came to the downed trees the real work really began. Roy Cornett and John Bates had chain saws and worked tirelessly until we got to the bottom. Everyone else wielded loppers, pruners, pruning saws and elbow grease as well as moved and held horses. Ruth Venable "dragged the Ass" who was carrying the pack with the chain saws and sacks of trash. We had lunch on the river at a small cemetary with head stones dating back to the mid-1700's.
It was tremendous fun, we got a lot done and the camaraderie was wonderful. I want to thank all who were able to come out for all the hard work and good cheer. I think we are all looking forward to the next time.
