It is with deep sadness I must share with you that our conservation day has been cancelled by Gettysburg NMP.

Under the circumstances, considering the unknowns ahead of us plus the difficulty in rescheduling with so many components to our volunteer effort, I fear that the best we can do is look forward to Spring 2021.

Keep the faith, our Civil War veterans deserve to be remembered and honored through our effort. I’ll keep in touch……..

Best Regards,
Ed Root

GETTYSBURG CONSERVATION DAY
SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2020

 There are few sites, if any, on the Gettysburg Battlefield that are more recognizable or iconic than the Codori Farm buildings on the Emmitsburg Road. It will be our honor to work there next year. As always, there will be a multitude of tasks such as fence painting, post and rail fence destruction and rebuilding, flat board fence destruction and rebuilding and the never-ending brush cutting. So, whatever your skill level, flexibility level, strength and endurance level there is something for you.

Without volunteers, our friends at Gettysburg National Military will never be able to keep up with all the necessary work to keep this place as it should be kept to honor those who fought and suffered here so long ago. The work never ends even with all the volunteer effort so your contribution is extremely important and necessary.

We’ll begin at 9AM and work til 12:30 or so. Spread the word to family and friends as we will have enough work to keep all busy. We expect our school, community and scout partners to join us as well. For logistical details see the post in Brigade news from March 2020.
