Yesterday was #WorkDay for the #TOGs (Thursday Old Geezers) #Volunteer group. The task was to finish replacing steps down to one of the trails at the #NorthWoods unit at #OxleyNatureCenter. With city budgets being what they are, we #Improvise, and #Repurpose what we have at hand. Here we are using old deck blocks to replace rotted railroad ties. The median age of the TOGs is 70, so all of us were tired and sore by the end of the day. It will take a while for the blocks to settle in, so we will adjust, and stabilize if needed. These should last several years. Net cost = $0. This is part of our volunteer efforts at #EnvironmentalSterwarship. Handrails will come next, then on to the next task. We have concluded that we all suck at something, but as a team, we don’t all suck at the same thing = there is always a #PathForward. I would like to start a #YouthConservation program where interns could get #CollegeCredit learning these skills.
