A NEW SPLIT RAIL FENCE

 A cold Saturday morning didn’t keep land trust members from building a new split rail fence in the parking lot of Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust in Blackwood Terrace, Deptford. From left, Frank Santoro, Deptford, uses a sledge hammer while Carl Ford, West Deptford, and Brett Ciccotelli, Gloucester Township hold the new rail in place. The entrance to Old Pine Farm is located at the end of Rankin Avenue off Good Intent Road. The 32 acres of open space along Big Timber Creek is open for visitors from dawn to dusk.

 

 


                       



  The land trust members at Old Pine Farm have been doing a mosaic art project on two white pillars that grace the entrance to the parking lot on Rankin Avenue. The project was started on June 23 with 15 members and friends and they have been meeting almost every week to continue the work. When the work is done, a new photo will be posted. Trustees and members of Old Pine Farm meet on the third Saturday of the month at 11 a.m. to make improvements or repairs to the land trust. The trust is open every day from dawn to dusk and visitors are encouraged to visit and walk the trails. The main entrance is located at the end of Rankin Avenue. For more information, call Joan at (856) 232-1109.
