Due to the bad non-Spring like weather that plagued much of October; we scheduled and rescheduled working bees without success. As the areas we work in at Cockpit are steep, it becomes too slippery and dangerous to work in after rain. We had rain showers and high winds and the month slipped by without us getting a working bee in.
Dick Massicks & I did take some time to walk over the entire reserve area that we manage and came to a decision that we would need to use much of the money that we have fundraised for to employ someone to poison the woody weeds that are re-emerging after being cut off previously or coming up from seed. It is impossible to dig these weeds out especially on the steep terrain and we felt it was best to employ someone experienced to do it for us. George Nebauer has been employed to do this for us - he is one of our members and is a great worker who is experienced in this field. Thankyou George
