Compost for Erosion Control: Compost has been spread along the hillside to the infield and around the IEC pond to help with weed and erosion control.


Arena Grooming Training: The Equestrian Team participated in arena grooming training led by Doug Porcello, enhancing their skills and knowledge.


Rain Prep & Cleanup Completed:  Work included dragging arenas and roads, placing sandbags and waddles, and performing small arena repairs.
