Greetings!
A big thank you to all who assisted in today¡¯s Fairfield cleanup. We made great progress. There will be a few odds and ends to take care of over the next few weeks. If you are available please consider helping out. Tom and Barb will be arranging brush pickup and taking loads to the green composting facility during the next week. They can announce when they are doing those trips on here so those free can help out. Kevin has volunteered to do some stump cleanup within the 5-6 foot clearing on the sides of the road. As the next week progresses we will walk the road to mark those stumps. We should be ready for the rains by the time they come.
Great work neighbors! Thank you again!

?Hi Neighbors,
Maybe some of you have noticed that the lower (north) end of Fairfield has been cleaned up a little. Some overhanging branches have been cut from the roadside and to the easement boundary (as near as I can tell). Some brush has been mowed thanks to Tom. This has made the lower end of Fairfield a much safer drive due to increased visibility and the space it provides for passing vehicles. I realize we are trying to secure a contract to maintain Fairfield on an annual or biannual basis but it is probably to the neighborhoods best interest to clean up the rest of Fairfield in the meantime - before the rainy season makes it harder. In discussion with Tom we have decided to form a one time work crew on one of the next two Saturday mornings to do the rest of the work which includes:
- Clearing the rest of the tree/brush branches from encroaching over the road boundary (pushing them back about 5 feet from the road edge) on the rest of Fairfield.
- Moving the larger rocks from that area so mowing can take place without hitting impediments and throwing them.
- Getting a closer cut on the remaining weeds to clear visibility and provide the space needed for vehicles to pass comfortably.
If you are interested in joining us we will schedule either May 22 (next Saturday) or May 29 (the Saturday during Memorial Day Weekend) at 7:00 AM and going until 9:00 AM or when we are done. Hopefully this will be a cooler part of the day.
Also, please respond with your name and your preference on day (May 22 or May 29). Once the day is decided we will let everyone know.
On the decided work day is set please make sure you bring work gloves, sturdy shoes, long sleeves and pants. You also may want to have a hat, eye protection and water. Any tools that may help the cause would be appreciated.
I will bring a chain saw, loppers, clippers, shovels and an axe. Tom indicated we could use his tractor for mowing.
Hope to see you there!
Mark Boggie
