Saving a Meadow
6/26/06
The Prundale Boy Scout troop featured in our last newsletter came back for more last week. The hard-working crew of troop 275 cleared coyote brush out of a meadow in Long Valley. You can see the before and after pictures below.
But, wait, you say, coyote brush is native, right? It is native. We’re removing it to save the meadow. In the natural order of things occasional fires would do this, but since people aren’t too keen on fires around their houses, we’ve suppressed them for decades. So, one human intervention leads to the loss of meadows and another helps save them. |
