365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

National Public Lands Day
Day 344: It was far from being the wettest National Public Lands Day in my experience as a crew leader, but it was certainly a bit on the soggy side. Most of my debris team was under age 10, drawn from two Cub Scout troops. The youngest member was four, and a very diligent worker. He was even disappointed when we announced quitting time! Roughly 50 volunteers joined Park personnel in a variety of projects including revegetation, trail work and campground maintenance. Given the weather, this was a great turnout. That said, the weather prevented us from taking down the platform tents as originally planned, so that project has been shifted to the next run of drier days.
