STORAGE AREA FOR BBTS EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES

On Planting day, May 20th, we learned that the Garage Building at Harkness Memorial State Park is about to have an architectural assessment and undergo some significant remodeling.
This means that everything in the building, including our British By The Sea equipment and supplies, will have to be removed and stored somewhere else, and for a time that we cannot know, beginning on a date we do not know.
Our stuff stored in the two rooms we have been using includes 5 pop-up tents, 6 plastic garbage cans, 15 traffic cones, all our Class and Direction signs, and another half-dozen boxes of administrative and miscellaneous items.
Help! We need storage space, and we may need it immediately. Please call with your offers of space to use and your ideas!!
