Mid afternoon Saturday Matt W. and I enter NE Gate. Walked around the proposed Tree Tutorial loop. Need to set path so we can begin temp labels of species for every tree along path.. later select down to 2-3 individuals per species.. Start next Sunday?
Woods are dry-ish. West Pond down to 0.36 feet. Snapping turtle there not moving. White tailed doe and Great Blue Heron (in trees above) there at 6 PM. Strong North winds on the 18th brought down many small twigs and branches.. some of the crown dieback from summer heat and drought..no major blow down.
I re-painted yellow dots on the Main SW trail. Some improvement in debris along South Boundary trail after Steve Womack supervisor, sent in man to help pick up.. much more to go. I told Dan Hofstedter(?) I would bring class to do moths but rain washed us out.
Armadillo or skunk disturbed litter and soil in substantial patch near the west fence line. Recurring whitewash 15-20 feet west of tree #118 on Trans OWP trail (just west of small metal debris).
Washing of Main SW trail from flood after 3 inch rain on the 9th is evident in sandy soil stripped clean of leaf litter along trail.
Should set motion detection camera on West Dune Trail at south end of dune top where small animal trail moves northeast into brush.
Need saw to clear snag log broken across southwest end of EW Fence Line trail.
At 7 PM sharp fast 48/100ths rain arrives.
