The local wildlife use our trails much more than we do but go unnoticed due to their secretive\, alert and sometimes nocturnal habits. In the snow is the history of their comings and goings. Do we have fox or coyote? Are otters present? Did the Flying Squirrel land on the ground near that tree?

The forest without leaves obscuring the view gives a new and different perspective. Unseen slopes and gulleys just off the trail become visible. Ancient trees hidden by their leafy offspring appear clearly. And you can actually see the birds you could only hear when the leaves were attached to their branches. As always water-proof footwear is recommended\, Meet at the Novak Sanctuary parking lot on the east side of Townline Road a little less than a mile north of State Route 82 on Aurora/Mantua border.

I will show you examples of recent successes as we walk to the work sites. \nYou should wear long pants\, long-sleeved shirt or jacket\, work gloves and sturdy shoes/boots (hiking boots are fine). Bring your favorite loppers or use ours. We will supply work gloves for those who need them\, loppers (we have 7) and Buckthorn Blaster herbicide applicators. We work in teams of 3 or 4\, taking turns cutting the trees near the ground\, moving the cut trees to create ‘wildlife piles’\, and applying herbicide to the cut stumps. We will have bottled water (or bring your own) and packaged snacks. \nIf you can join us\, please RSVP to info@clevelandaudubon.org so we know how many to expect.
