Hello Fellow Tree Huggers:
I'm pecking away at the keyboard to report on our July 16th Work Day at the Audubon Newhall Preserve. Our participants included high schoolers Thaddaeus and Ava Elizabeth Rios; regulars Sal Gioia, Hilton Klein, MaryEllen Blankenship, Karen Lucey, Julia and David Buzzard; and your Fearless Leader. (Not present for the photo was MaryEllen who had to leave a bit early, and your Fearless Leader, who took the photo.) Sal and Hilton moved three benches to the other side of the perimeter path around the Audubon Pond, in hopes that Big Al will not munch on our visitors, and then returned to assist with the "log-rolling crew." Thaddaeus and his sister, Ava Elizabeth helped several of us move and realign logs around the perimeter of the parking lot, (See photos) and others of us moved branches to a large pile on the south side of the access drive for removal by our friends from Sea Pines CSA. Thanks to CSA we have added two additional parking spaces to the parking lot! As always, "May The Forest Be With You."
