Cap Sauers Holding Saturday June 21
On one of the hottest days of the season, Margaret and volunteers ventured into Cap Sauers to snip some reed canary seed heads. They knocked off early, a concession to the heat, choosing to live to fight another day. Well done!
Nature Walk at Spears Woods, Saturday June 21
I expected a small turnout for the third of our spring walks with Jessica Rock and Palos Park Library and was tremendously gratified to see a group of 12 show up. Better still, six of them were either descended from or married to descendants of John Spear, the 19th Century farmer who gave Spears Woods its name.
We had some great conversations, shared information, and will try to assist them in their search for more information on their ancestor. Very cool to meet these fine folks!
We also managed a shade over two miles of walking at a very pedestrian pace, with frequent stops and the cooling effect of a stiff breeze.
Black Partridge Woods Sunday June 22
This was a small turnout - John, myself, and volunteer Jose. We went in search of weeds, whacking a few teasel on the south side of Bluff Road before escaping to the more shaded parts of the nature preserve. Lots of water and several breaks kept us from over-exerting ourselves and the absence of any concentration of weeds made our morning an easy one..
