Spears Woods Saturday November 29
Snow was falling in the early morning, which didn't deter a small, dedicated group of volunteers from showing up at Spears. (I wasn't one of them, doing wiper blade replacement at the time). Perhaps they would've thought twice if they know multiflora rose was on the morning's agenda :-) X
A tip of the cap to each of them - while I like ripping into mf rose, it's not because it's fun or easy. No, it's because the satisfaction at ridding an area of it is so great. My thanks to Sheri Moor who shared a couple pics and a narrative.
The following day we we scheduled at Black Partridge. Steward John Marlin canceled because the parking lot was snowed in, with light snow continuing into the morning. We've lost two days at Partridge to weather this fall and need a break from the deities.
The early-season snowfall was a delight, getting me out Saturday evening for a walk notable for the quiet and the lack of cars on the road. I stood at Route 83 near 76th Sve. and could not see an oncoming car either east or west, from Harlem to 80th Avenue. That's rare.
