The Leaves Are Down (but our spirits are up!)
(Field Trip)

Without the leaf foliage our views will not be impaired and we will easily see the terrain and other topographical features of the landscape. Join us for a walk to see the changes that have occurred 1 year after clearing the southern fields at the Molnar Sanctuary. Last autumn Kenny Kresina spent many hours turning European Buckthorn that was too robust for our brush-hog into mulch. He used a specialized machine to cut and grind it. He has done some plantings since then and of course the Buckthorn is trying to rally a comeback but the battle has just begun. Meet at the Molnar Sanctuary parking lot on the west side of Page Road a few hundred yards north of Mennonite Road in Aurora.
