The two new picnic tables have been installed.  We are contemplating adding a third table.

We decided not to add any new trees into the Phase One Common Area,

We are investigation the option of repairing the trail that connects Hunting Ridge Trail and Crossing Ridge Trail through the woods.   We were unable to do a walkthrough since the ground was pretty muddy.   We will continue to investigate.

We have discussed the possibility of either installing grills or possibly a fire pit.   We are trying to get quotes and pricing for both before we decide.

The spring cleanup will be on May 18th at 9am.

We’re currently doing a walkthrough with JML to show them all the areas that need addressed throughout the year.
