Journalist-blogger and Averill Woods neighbor Wes Thorp documented the state of the woods prior to the work day.  The videos show that there were no defined trails and that the somewhat "worn footpaths" were blocked with logs and downed tree limbs. He also got a glimpse of the neighborhood woods clean-up team in action, in final preparations for the big day!

Thanks to Jason Wilkes and Murdock Jemerson for these photos.  It was great to have the tools and wheelbarrows from neighbors and parks and recreation all assembled and ready for the different work teams and stored overnight at Averill Elementary School.

Be sure to check out the "before," "during," and "after" photos and videos.
