Margaret held her first brush-cutting day of the season, replete with brush-pile burning. We were in a familiar place, along the green trail near an old CCC bridge where we've cleared brush several times in recent months. A couple chainsaws and Doug on the brushcutter were a complement to the volunteers using hand tools.
We were joined by scouts and parents from Darien, who did a terrific job and were fearless in tackling multi-flora rose which was all too common in the area. Thanks to all who attended!
Black Partridge Woods Sunday September 21
Early morning rain cleared by our arrival, allowing us to collect seed in the wooded upland area. We got a lot of grass seed, some forbs, and a lot of accidental desmodium clinging to our clothing by mid-morning. We also had a tour of a very diverse, high quality woodland.
