    Great leaders, plenty of tools, very organized. Thanks, Curtis and Rachel. We enjoyed it and felt it was time well spent.

    Thanks for organizing. Next year make sure there are more tools (we brought our own but no one else did), especially chainsaws so we can get some of the big privets. I think it might also be helpful to mark a certain area to intensively focus on. With limited time and manpower my vote would be for opening up the viewsheds along the creek where the privet has ruined the trail experience.
    Also, please push back on the city's demand that the cut privet be removed. It poses no fire hazard, being too wet a wood, and can be neatly and responsibly stacked. That would increase our productivity 100%.
    We had a good time - thanks! Hannah was a very nice hostess.
