It's been a few days since I last put something up here -- we had some rainy weather and I took a couple of short bike rides. I took a few photos along the way -- the first one along 160th where the Township has been actively deforesting our local toxic waste site.

Sometimes, if you turn around, the photo opportunity behind you is as interesting as the one in front of you. Gray beard jogging. (I have no idea why Blogger is messing with my sentence arrangements. Boo, Blogger.).JPG)

He wuz shantyin’ thin, wuz Finnigin,
As minny a railroader’s been agin,
An’ his shmoky ol’ lamp wuz burnin’ bright
In Finnigin’s shanty all that night-
Bilin’ down his repoort was Finnigin
An’ he writed this here: "Muster Flannigan:
Off agin, on agin,
Gone agin. --Finnigin."
As minny a railroader’s been agin,
An’ his shmoky ol’ lamp wuz burnin’ bright
In Finnigin’s shanty all that night-
Bilin’ down his repoort was Finnigin
An’ he writed this here: "Muster Flannigan:
Off agin, on agin,
Gone agin. --Finnigin."

What does "Native Forest Restoration" mean?
They cut down the white pine, leaving the tops for habitat. Some seedlings and shrubs will be replanted, but mostly I think they're allowing it to go native. Beech, hemlock, cherry and sugar maple were listed as the native species.
Maybe environmentally accurate, but I'm not at all sure. I suspect skullduggery.
Sorry -- it is the red pine that is the non native. It's natural habitat ends 20 miles north of here, according to the sign. (Really? 20 miles?)
