Location: Lower Chrome Serpentine Barrens.

Attendees: In addition to Molly:George Gress, Tracy Raymond, Bill Whittaker, Kent Wagner, Anna Hull, Chris Hull and Henry Whitesel were present for this workday.

Accomplishments: The group met in the old field just past the gate at the Barren Road entrance to Lower Chrome at 10:00 a.m.We continued clearing the area between grassland #9 & #14 where we left off during the 11/15/15 workday.   The brush mower, a weed whacker and chainsaws were used to clear the area of greenbriar and small trees.Others spent time walking through the grassland area, clearing old brush piles off the site.The large cedar and three small oaks were left.More stumps will need to be cut and a large pile of brush still needs to be hauled away. A workday will be scheduled for this winter, most likely in January, depending on the weather, to complete this work.We left the site at 1:30 p.m. to begin the Thanksgiving holiday.
