FRIENDS OF EDGEWOOD INSTALL FENCE

Late this summer, under the direction of Ranger Lynne Fritz, a couple dozen people finished the simple wooden fence that protects part of Edgewood’s threatened species habitat. Paths cutting through the meadow were wiping out butterfly host plants; as they continued up the slope, these paths caused worse and worse erosion of the hillside. The fence clearly signals that these paths are not "legal" trails.

This effort was unofficially the first project of the Friends of Edgewood Natural Preserve—a great success! We had a good time working out there, sharing labor, sweet rolls and apple juice, getting to know each other, knowing we were doing something tangible to protect Edgewood.
