Reestablishing the Watchable Wildlife
Mohawk Dam: Story by Janet Snow
In response to an article in a bird watching magazine
we got a phone call from a couple who have become instrumental in helping
reestablish the watchable wildlife and nature trail area below our dam.
They can and camped with us, we walked the area and planned the work
for this season. Vic and Lou Smith drive a couple hours to be here. Vic
planed and built three wood duck nest boxes and secured them to trees in
our wetlands. We hope to have ducks established there next year. The
current plan is for Vic to build two new benches along the trail that
runs through the area. They also expressed interest in helping plan
and build a new bulletin board at the entrance to the nature trail system.
Their help and interest are very much appreciated.
Working through the County Summer Job program I got the
media crew to come here and began development of a new self guided nature
trail brochure. Their time was too short for completion but, their
work will give the next crew a head start. They really enjoyed the
research they did on the wild life and other aspects of the brochure as well
as being outside in the wilderness.
Do you have a volunteer success story to share?
We will rotate
stories and print them as space becomes available.
