Weather is still the worst but the trails conditions are improving remarkably. Summer heat in the preserve is really unbearable. Drains you of all energy. We are also on the edge of Hurricane Earl and can only hope it doesn't hit the east coast but it should be out of here by tomorrow night.
In spite of the dogs days of summer we are making progress and are back to campus for a week now. Trails in the preserve are open and passable which is more than we had at the start of last year. Great starting group of students this year and I expect they will do remarkable service in the preserve this semester and in the future. I finished buying some of the tools, gloves and equipment they will use this term and it should be in soon.
Next big step is to give all of these enthusiastic and idealistic young people a great tour of the preserve and a clear idea of what they can do. Human energy and creativity is a true 'resource' and I really believe we have a vast new pool we can tap.
