Thursday November 1, 2001
Afternoon:
At The Culvert (Page 2 of 2) |
 |
Another brand new ATV trail. This one is quite
new, and hasn't yet been used much. It needs
to be closed up somehow, before it gets larger. Here
a student is picking up trash. |

 |
Really getting into the
work. |
|
| |
 |
A broad area of
destruction. This probably used to be a series of shallow ponds with
marsh grasses.
Some students have placed fallen trees in the way
to hopefully discourage motorized travel through this area. You can
see them still working in the distance. |

After the work period, Tom
asked the students to investigate a nearby cedar swamp that has so
far had no intrusion into it by ATVs.
This swamp has had no caretaking work done on it
over the years. Tom asked the class to note how small and stunted
the cedar trees are here, saying that this is directly due to this
lack of caretaking.
Stalking Wolf left this area alone as an example. |

|
Here are a couple of pictures
illustrating some attempts to close of a side road.
Not a lot could be done in the limited time that the class had for working
here. |
|
|
| These fallen trees won't stop
the really determined ATV'er, but may server to discourage those who are
less aggressive, or haven't yet "discovered" this side road. |
