<p>I hope you are all having a good summer. I feel very lucky right now that this part of the world is not being threatened by extreme heat or flooding or fire or….</p><p>We've kept up a steady stream of invasive removal events through the summer, making great progress at Brumley South, and along the Bolin Creek Trail. One Rewild Earth volunteer recently pointed out a 7 foot tall hickory that she was very proud of. It had been buried under wisteria, and was now liberated to stretch to the sun. Multiply that by 100s of occurrences throughout the triangle, and take a moment to feel the joy and profound satisfaction that comes from what we do!</p><p>One of my summer highlights has been the work of a new volunteer, Liz. She is home from college, deeply concerned about her planet (and her future), and signing up for just about every event on the Rewild Earth calendar. Liz, it's been great working with you - I just wish you went to school around here.</p><p>Please take care of yourself - stay hydrated, don't over-do it outdoors, watch for ticks. I've had to pull at least a dozen off of me this season, and I ended up with a very mild case of Lyme Disease. Don't let it happen to you!</p> |
