Coordinated by Ed Haeflinger, the annual Gravel Pack on March 1st dawned cold and rainy but turned into a sunny day for our intrepid volunteers.

Frequent volunteers, Barb Downing and Justine, showed up bright and early. Our thanks to Mary Poste for some great shots!

Two types of gravel packs were used; above, animals were loaded with square buckets loaded with gravel.
