CAS Reflection #3

I have been in contact with Susan Rittenhouse and we have narrowed down the projects which I will be able to pursue throughout the course of the project.

Area's of work and study could include:

1.  How to clean/restore/recondition the kiosks. 

2.  How to clean/restore/recondition the viewing blinds 

3.  Rake up tumbleweed and kochia. Research and decide what to do next spring to stop them from coming up again.

4.  Where did all the dead fall trees come from?  There are a lot of accumulated dead trees and  small branches in a wide area of the property on the north side of Dike Rd.

5.  Wire fencing needs to be placed around cottonwood trees to prevent beaver impact.  Learn about this and do it.  Likewise, it you notice that a tree has the wire tightly around it, learn what to do at this point.

6.  With a hard-timed rake work on the new parking and shed area.  Fill in  the low areas.  Smooth out the sides.

These areas are volunteer opportunities which I can get started with in the near future. The property at Connected Lakes needs a lot of work and has a lot of potential to be turned into something better than it already is. I am excited to get started!
