FRIENDS OF EDGEWOOD INSTALL SIGNS By Carolyn Curtis
Helping were Stew Simpson, Guy Cohen, Ken Herdman, James Little, John Allen, Don Mayall, and Carolyn Curtis. An appreciative round of applause for them all! These beautiful signs are the result of great cooperation between the Parks and Recreation Department and the Friends board. Toward the end of last summer a small group of board members met with Director Patrick Sanchez; together we worked out the types and wording of various signs we thought were needed. Later Director Sanchez and a few of us spent an afternoon at the preserve working through which signs were going at what points in the park and going through the specific wording. Ranger Lynne Fritz followed through on this first batch of signs, the "entrance announcement" group. This kind of work is valuable for the preserve; we'll help put up the three other signs (they'll be at all official preserve entrances) and other signs as well. If you checked the box for trail maintenance on the membership application and missed this chance to help, don't worry; there'll be other opportunities! If you didn't check the box but would like to participate in these efforts, call Carolyn. |

Under
the direction of Ranger Lynne Fritz, on Sunday, October 16, six Friends of Edgewood
installed the first of the new large wooden signs that announce at each entrance of
Edgewood that it is a Natural Preserve. The signs have two covered pockets, one for the
County brochure (map) and one for the Friends of Edgewood brochure. Also prominent on the
signs are No Bicycles and No Dogs, conveyed both in plain English and with the "Æ " symbol.
