NEWs from dunbar cave:
Unfortunately, one of our S= easonal Interpretive Rangers quit after only two weeks due to transportation proble= ms. With Bob being out a lot as well, this left us short-staffed, but everyone = put forth great effort to keep things going.&n= bsp; Michael and Patrick have especially put in a lot of work, with the t= wo of them doing cave hikes that should have been divided among three workers. We presented 69 prog= rams for 1132 persons in June. We = had a very successful Twilight Camp for the Girl Scouts the first week of June, a= nd have been visited by many Day Cares and YMCA groups. We also took part in a 96.3 Jack r= adio station promotion, along with three other parks.
A very large ash tree fell across the Recovery Trail, where it makes the curve and starts up the steep hill, taking out several= other trees as well and blocking off a large part of the trail due to the way it fell. It took a lot of work by David, Patrick and Adam, but it has been removed from the trail.
&nb= sp; Our Barn Swallows have produced two broods so far and they are at wo= rk on their third. They will lea= ve us the middle of August. We have= been visited by an Ospry and a Black-crowned Night Heron, both birds that we don’t see often.
