From initial planning stages we went from 20, then down to 15 volunteers. On the day of we had only 12. Not terrible since I feel it was worthwhile to make contacts at this experiential learning school, but we are not always able to be so flexible on the number of volunteers! Description of Accidents/Incidents: Description of Work Completed: 10 youth and 2 adults from William Smith High School in Aurora completed a half day of new trail construction at Genesee Park. The group built 250 feet of new trail that will be a part of the new trail system being constructed in the park.
