McMahon Woods & Fen Saturday April 30
Yet another day of morning rains with threats of more, so our numbers were a bit lower than usual. We still punched a nice hole in a brushy, vine-infested mess right above one of numerous drainages at the site. Just one fire, a rarity for our Saturday sessions, but it was very well fed.
McClaughrey Springs Sunday May 1
Sunday the rain had pretty much passed through the area, and we had a bigger turnout. That included first-time Palos volunteers Marcos and Alondra, Mike, Mickey, Matteo and Jenny, Amir and Alexander. Yes, it's quite exciting to have eight new people show up on one day.
We had three fires and cleared a big section north of the Yellow Trail just off Kean Ave. See Joy Vrchota's before & after pics in the slideshow below. We also got to see how the woods are (finally) greening up despite our cold, gray spring. Even the garlic mustard was putting up flowers by last weekend, a reminder of what's to come..
