Farewell

Team Gateway’s last week was spent wrapping things up and enjoying their final days at Sandy Hook. The corps members (finally!) visited the oldest operating lighthouse in the US right here in Sandy Hook and the 1940s renovated History House on Officer’s Row. We also were treated to a lovely dinner by Resource Manager Jeanne at Casa Comida. Since everyone went away for the Givingthanks holiday, we made a post-holiday day dinner. Furthermore, we met with the GIS specialist and created maps of the areas we treated. It was amazing to see all the work we’d accomplished. Team Gateway removed 6206 trees of heaven (the highest amount of all the invasive plant teams at Gateway) and 100 autumn olives, and treated over 32acres of land! Now it’s time for Gateway members to move on to a bigger, better, and brighter future!
