 The Springfield Environmental Commission is sponsoring a walk, open to the public, in the Houdaille Quarry on
Oct. 14 from I to 2:30 p.m. The rain date is Oct. 28. Refreshments will be served.
The walk will include a demonstration by the Union Model Airplane Club, which uses a large area in the quarry.
There will be a visit to the leaf composting facility featuring large machines which aerate the compost. County
towns bring their leaves to the quarry and the resulting compost is sold by the company running the
facilitVisitors will be invited to walk around in groups to enjoy the beauty of the area, which has been recovering
from quarrying for almost 20 years.
A video demonstrating the changes is available in the public library.
Sturdy shoes, long pants and long sleeves are recommended attire. Children must be accompanied by a responsible
adult.
For information call 908-273-1263.
