Subject: TNC volunteers! Saturday March 22nd
Hello!
Things are moving right along with the Visitor Center... and Great Egret, Great Blue Heron, Ibis, Cormorant, Anhinga, Black Crowned Night Heron, Yellow Crowned Night Heron, and a few Roseate Spoonbills may be spotted in the rookery. The little birds (Little Blue Heron, Green Heron, Cattle Egret, Snowy Egret) are starting to come in and cross your fingers that some will nest this year. The weather has been perfect for a peaceful walk on the levee trail. If you don't know where it is, please ask!
I am currently taking names and collecting volunteers- those willing to help physically with a few short-term projects, and those looking forward to working on a long-term basis as volunteer docents in the Visitor Center. We can't do it without you!
As we move into the spring and the start of construction, we will rely upon the assistance of volunteers on a few small projects, starting now with a not-very glamorous but very important task! If you've passed by our site recently, you will have seen several large piles of mulch placed next to our beautiful old live oak trees. Standing next to them yesterday- a few piles are as tall as I am and although I am not that tall... I realized that there was no way I could do this by myself! For the health of the trees, we need to get this done soon and I could use your help for a couple of hours.
Saturday March 22nd, Rain Day the 29th
9:00 a.m. until 11:00 or 12:00 depending on how many people we have.
Corner of Prairie Hwy (LA 353) and Rookery Road at the south end of Lake Martin
Please let me know if you can help, or have to pass but would like to be part of the program in the future, or know anyone else that might be interested. I'll bring our most current plans to share. Our site is just across the way from the levee trail; bring your lunch and your walking shoes for afterwards! I will be available for a walk on the levee or a kayak paddle tour in the lake (byok).
Thank you! Hope to hear from you soon! Details to follow.
