365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

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.
