In attendance: Henry Whitesel, Mike Waltz, Kent Wagner, Cathy Cooper, and Emery Abdel-Latif Accomplishments: We started at 0900 and finished about 1430. We worked along The Rose Trail in the serpentine site labled "q" located between sites "h" and "c": Map. We cleared trees and green briar to create a serpentine savanna. We were fortunate to have Cathy and Emery with us as they moved a great deal of wood off site and did it faster than us older folk would have. About 1 workday remains to complete clearing of this site. The little blue stem grass seems to be thriving on the newly opened forest floor; unfortunately so does the green briar. This is a gentle sloping area with a south eastern exposure that is a great example of restored serpentine habitat. The day was sunny and hot and neared our cut off temperature of 90 degrees by the time we quit work about 1:30 pm. Issues: none Reporter: Henry Whitesel
