Helping to preserve the history of Willow Bunch

   The original modern day drive way on the east side of the lot was no longer viable due to the recreation of the east lean-to, so it was being replaced by one on the west side of the lot. That is just one of many landscaping activities completed on the property. Other activities include planting trees, bushes, and grass, and improving drainage. Plenty of work has been done already, but there is still a lot more to do before the large 1/2 acre lot is fully landscaped. Stay tuned for more activity in the area...
