This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Today's Haul
Day 305: It's been eleven days since I last patrolled my Site Steward's beat in Ohop Valley. On July 20, I pulled out seven tires and a large bag of beer cans and other assorted litter. When I worked on the blackberry-cutting party two days ago, I noticed some new litter alongside the road. Expecting to pick up a few cans and some paper, I stopped by the site again today. Two hours later, I had gathered another seven tires and a bag of litter, and had had help dragging a roll of carpet pad out to a more convenient location. I "centralized" the tires for later pickup by a Land Trust crew who will dispose of them properly.
I continue to be surprised when hearing about or seeing what people will throw into the wild. I had a (close) friend who once shoved a car over a cliff. WTF? I don't get it. Glad you are part of a solution.
