We have some local businesses to thank most heartily for their generosity in helping us with our work on the enclosures. You may recall that we obtained a load of posts from Menards in Kentucky not long ago. These posts will support the new platforms, so as to spare the trees.

Richardson Construction brought a bobcat to help us move the heavy posts. Spud Bear came to supervise.

The heavy posts on the trailer.

The curators would have had to move those posts one at a time. What a job!

They were grateful for the Bobcat!

Another donor was MK Property Management, who gave ABR a deep discount on moving and spreading about nine truckloads of gravel.

Three truckloads were delivered on one day.

The gravel was spread.

New gravel is on the left; old on the right.You can see the difference. All 70 tons of it was donated by Vulcan Materials.

We can’t thank these local companies enough for their generosity!
