Addendum: Spring Cleaning event was very well attended – had 20 adults and about 10 young people who helped. All tasks were accomplished by 1 pm. Only thing not done, was birds nest at entrance so that will need to be done at later date when eggs have been hatched* and Jon or someone has a tall ladder out.
