Thursday April 22, 2010 A date like that can stop you in your tracks! Today is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, I can remember what it was like back then; we were young, idealistic and just getting started; how much didn’t we know back then! we’ve come a long way but so many things still move in the wrong direction; what’s it going to be like 40 years from now???
Tonight is the eve of a couple of great field work days – regular field work starts up on Friday afternoons; it should be a good day but Saturday is special; in the morning we will do an Arbor Day planting with loads of kids (organized by the education staff at the center) it should be a blast; then in the afternoon I’ll be leading a fairly large group way out into the preserve - first to check out how the work from last year held up but also to extend that work and see what comes next; most of the students are new to the area this year so they will see it with fresh eyes; this time of year I’m sure they will love what they see; Next time I get the chance to write I’ll be looking to tell about their first adventure into the preserve.
