On Saturday September 28th, volunteers of all ages from SWEP-CT, the Connecticut Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club (CT-AMC) and the Environmental Professionals Organziation of Connecticut (EPOC) rolled up their sleeves and hit the trails.

Armed with loppers, rakes and other tools, volunteers helped to remove invasive plants and clear brush on National Park Service Lands maintained by CT-AMC.

The work area, located in Kent, CT, provides habitat for the Northern Metalmark butterfly, an extremely rare species in Connecticut.

Many thanks to all who participated!
