Allen Park was a great experience for our whole crew. We began by clearing low hanging and creeping brush from a popular walking trail so that people could once again enjoy the natural beauty of Allen Park. We then pulled out and disposed of an old and rotted fence and began the process of adjusting the size of the whole to fit the new fence posts. Next we tamped in the new posts, sawed notches in the posts and railings, drilled holes through all of them, and finally bolted them into place. As a crew we were able to overcome the challenge of having some of the previous posts sunk in concrete. By working at Allen Park I was able to learn new skills associated with fence building.
