Hi, Friends of the Mianus River Park, Feb 4, 2009
1. Trailwork:
a. We'll be holding our regular monthly trailwork this Saturday, Feb 7th.
b. Please join us. We'll meet at the bridge on Merriebrook Lane, at 9am (work until noon).
c. Forecast is breezy and milder with some sunshine giving way to clouds, warming to 47 F.
d. We'll be doing some more armoring of wet areas on the trails, at two spots fairly close to the bridge. (Armoring means laying down flat rocks to walk on over the wet areas, without damming up the flow of water)
e. Please bring gloves.
2. We've had repeated incidents of vandalism to the Deer Fence. This fence was built for two reasons:
a. To create a deer-free area to demonstrate how the forest will rejuvenate when not subject to deer browse. The area inside the fence was cleared of invasive plants and re-planted with native plants. This spring, we'll be planting more native plants.
b. To protect the riverbank in that area from non-natural erosion.
If you should see someone cutting this fence, please explain to them why we want to maintain the integrity of the fence.
Thanks,
Communications, Friends of the MRP
