The T.W.Burgess Society administers the land of the former East Sandwich Game Farm as a nature study area and conservation education site . The restroom building was threatened by a massive white pine,damaged in a storm and leaning over the building. The volunteers contacted the Forest Keepers requesting that they remove the tree before the forecast Nor'easter on 1/12 so there would still be facilities when school groups visit the Game Farm. They cut and lowered each piece of the tree by rope starting from over 40' above the ground with no damage to the building We were all impressed with their professional skills and are grateful for their community-minded generosity. They did the work pro bono, sharing the Burgess Society concern for children and the environment. Thanks, Forest Keepers.
