I could not see the walking stick in photo 10, no matter how hard I tried. As for walking sticks, I have not seen any this year. It's odd. --- On Wed, 8/5/09, Beth Koebel <[email protected]> wrote: From: Beth Koebel <[email protected]> Subject: [ENTS] Glades To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, August 5, 2009, 5:09 AM ENTs, Occasionaly we talk about the other native landscapes and as I was out wondering on a glade this past Monday helping collecting seeds for Seeds of Success (http://www.nps.gov/plants/sos/) I took several photos. I have downloaded them to photobucket at http://tinyurl.com/nj42xt The photos were taken on Crescent Knoll Glade at Shaw Nature Reserve (SNR). For the history of the SNR go to http://www.shawnature.org/about/SNRhistory.aspx I found it and interesting read and enjoyed the old photos. I will try to print those off and go back and try to take a photo from the same view. As you can see in the old photos most of the 2500 acres was cleared for farming until the mid 1920's. Even when SNR was starting up there was different ideas of what needed to be done, ie trying to get away from the coal smoke in St. Louis, it should have a proper "English Garden" setting, etc. The lastest idea is to try to restore it back to what was there when the ground was orginally surveyed. This means that there should be wide variety of habitats ranging from bottom-land forests, woods, glades, fens, wetlands, and pariares to mention a few. For those who don't know where Shaw Nature Reserve is (and I am assuming there are quite a few of you) it is located near the middle of the map in the following link in between Robertsville and Grey Summit along I-44. http://tinyurl.com/mb3ck9 A little closer in. Once agian in the center from Old Grey Summit Road to the Meramec River on the bottom to the straight up and down road on the left to the were the river starts its "smile" after the short straight run. http://tinyurl.com/lbkwst Beth Trees are the answer.--bumper sticker from Illinois Forest Association --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
