August 2019 Notes From the Field Crew and Their Restoration Efforts

Field notes from the field crew

Over the past ten years, we learned a lot about buck and rail construction

No one, besides Red Dog, ever saw the elusive porcupine.

Small metal exclosures can hinder the lateral growth of trees.

A rabbit found a row of planted bur oak and chopped them to the ground.

We weed whacked and matted new willow restoration site

Several years ago we matted a stand of reed canary grass in the Clubhouse Floodplain

The transplants flourished!

Many of the milkweed roots that we dug up and planted now boast large leaves and bulbous seed pods!

The Sheep Camp Orchard has robust fruits on most of the trees and shrubs!

We observe bears often in the Boondocks.

A field of maximillian sunflowers casts a wonderful sight as many areas fade to brown
