Ten Wabash men and one son gathered at Third Phase in Noblesville, IN October 3 to help restore a children’s play area, landscape several areas, and provide firewood used for winter heat in Third Phase offices and women’s shelter.

Nearly 20 yards of mulch were spread on the children’s playground, weeds were cut, pulled, poisoned and otherwise eliminated, shrubs were trimmed, dead trees were removed, and hundreds of logs were cut and split. Various power tools (chain saws, log splitters, skid/steer loader, hedge trimmers and weed-eaters) were used with absolutely no injury to people, cats, or property – much to the surprise of some. Playground restoration assures a welcoming, safe place for children for the remainder of the fall, and a play area that will be ready for use next spring and all summer long. Flower beds were cleared and mulched, ready for next spring’s blossoms.
