Here is an update of what promises to be a good week!
This week, if anyone is interested in heading out into our black ash lowland forests, please email me with a request for one or more of the following dates and times at bcbiocollins@gmail.com
Here is the schedule:
July 31 from 5:30 to 8:00 PM, Rice Beds Creek State Wildlife Area, Meet at Unity Schools Parking lot at 5:30 PM.
August 1 (Part 1) from 8:30 to 11:30 AM, Governor Knowles State Forest, Eureka Twp, Meet at Unity Schools Parking lot at 8:30 AM
August 1 (Part 2) : Cancelled
August 2 Changed: 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM, Governor Knowles State Forest, Eureka Twp, Meet at Unity Schools Parking lot at 8:00 AM or 8:40 AM (I'll be making some pick-ups with the van in that time).
Ideally, please email to let me know if you are interested. For this week's crews, we will meet at the Unity Parking lot. This works out pretty well for anyone who hasn't had a chance to let me know in advance, but I can't promise available room in the school van. You may always call me at 715-557-0706 to find out if there are availabilities. I didn't answer my phone much last week, as I was at EAA Airventure and was in a realm of much constant noise. If my cell phone was on, I usually didn't hear it when it rang (thanks to the P-51 mustangs and similar aircraft).
I'll be at Unity today at 5:30 with field gear ready. Please do wear long pants, old shoes, and bring long sleeves. My previous crew will tell you that these are much needed to fend off the wood nettle stings, the mosquitoes, the blackberry thorns, the black flies, deer flies, and other reasons these forests remain wild! If you are allergic to bee stings, please bring your benadril or epi-pin. We have encountered stinging insects once already!
Hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Brian Collins
