The entire country seems to be having a cold snap. We actually like it when we are working. Not only are we more comfortable and not sweaty but the bugs are in hiding too!
We went in to work for a few hours on Sunday. to make up for our short day last Wednesday.
Monday we met with Kim, the plant ecologist. She needs help with growing native grasses so that when we treat the invasive grasses at the entrance to Santa Ana we can replace them with natives. Our project (if we choose to accept) is to make plugs that will need to be started in seedling trays, then thinned out, and then transplanted into plug trays. They will also need watered several times a week (4-5 times per week while in seedling trays and 3-4 times per week when in plug trays). we plan on starting this project next Tuesday..
Tuesday and Wednesday were spent on the trails and parking lot area. This week we seen 3 bobcats, 3 Javalina’s and a very large raccoon! Actually seen 5 Whooping Cranes flying overhead too!
the weather is warming up as the week goes on, hope to be back to 70 by Saturday. Our compound is full. we had two new couples arrive this week. have not had a chance to meet them yet.
