Spears Woods is filled with activity these days. Saturday we cut brush southwest of Boomerang Slough, adjacent to an area where a Friends of the Forest Preserves crew (FOTFP) worked extensively in January and February. Barberry, bittersweet, multiflora, honeysuckle. What a mess!
A redeeming note on this day was the soundtrack provided by numerous chorus frogs (and the occasional peeper) in a nearby pond. Very nice.......
We got a huge boost from the FOTFP Calumet crew, led by Brenda Elmore. They've been at Spears for two weeks now, clearing brush farther north towards 87th Street and Old Country Lane. It's really looking good out there, with more change yet to come.
The next day, March 13, we held our spring party, aka the Palos Potluck, at Sagawau ELC in Lemont. It was fun, thanks to all who came and shared with us!
