Saturday was the start of our warming trend, and marked another volunteer visit to the stretch of preserves along Old Country Lane. We are slowly working to the south and will be there for a while depending on how far Joe plans to continue.
Two chances this weekend, Friday and Saturday, at Willow Springs Woods..
Hidden Pond Woods Sunday February 8
Back to Hidden Pond for a Super Sunday of brush removal, focusing on a strip of mostly small buckthorn that grows in the upland along LaGrange Road. We had one brushcutter, one chainsaw, and five others, including first-time Palos volunteer Kaeli from the great state of Michigan, hauling brush and loading the fire.
Leaving the parking lot you have to drive north, past our work site, and I realized how much progress we've made over the past couple seasons. Hidden Pond was the first Palos site where I volunteered which makes it special.
