Our small crew was joined by interns from Friends of the Forest Preserves, an organization that does tremendous work in advancing restoration in Cook County, and by troops of Scouts who held their annual camping weekend at Pioneer.
The Scouts pitch their tents throughout the picnic grove, then pitch in cutting and dragging brush. The first group came around 11:00, when two of our three brush piles were already burning, and they continued to come throughout the day.
Special thanks to Steve Krupa and Dorothy Nawara, who worked this day AND the two workdays earlier in the week, at McClaughry Springs Monday and Pioneer Tuesday.
