Fourteen members of Evergreen Park High School Science Club, and their teachers Ms. Augustyn and Ms. Tsoukatos, came to Cranberry Slough on a lovely Saturday morning.
Half the students went to collect seed with Joe, while the other half - after a slow start with the fire (don't ask) - helped cut honeysuckle from the hillside. New volunteer Kristin was a great addition to the cutting crew. We also cut and burned a hawthorn thicket on the slope. Seed collection went well, with Araceli Diaz assisting Joe in this task.
In the picture below, a couple of the EP kids greet their friends as they exit the trail.
Sunday at McClaughry was an equally pretty day. Working near the trail, we saw a stream of trail users pass by on foot, horse, and mountain bike. Louis and Corryn from Chicago Ornithological Society, and Hannah from Moraine Valley, were first-time volunteers in Palos.
