We had a large group, including regional ecologist Kristin Pink and first-time Palos volunteer Kyle, working near Ford Road and an old CCC bridge. This is a spot Margaret's been coming to for quite a while and it's looking better with each month's effort. Kyle, an arborist in his day job, fit right in and was a great help. With brushcutters and chainsaws running there was lots to drag and burn.
Hidden Pond Woods West Sunday December 21
Back at Hidden Pond to burn all the brush we cut a month ago, when low humidity kept us from burning, we dove right in with two fires. We loaded and lopped and dragged the duration of our shift - with a time-out for snacks, of course - and by quitting time all of the brush was burned.
Our mighty Sunday group did their usual stellar job, joined by almost-first-time Palos volunteer Anna who was out once several years ago. She has worked in the restoration field and dove right in with great zeal.
