The Dunwoody Nature Center was awarded a grant last year to restore the old growth Piedmont forest on its grounds, and the Forest Steward program is an outgrowth of that plan. Last Saturday Rick Otness and Tina Philpot assisted Cathie Brumfield, a newly trained DNC Forest Steward, in removing invasives and small trees from the meadow below the North Woods Pavilion.
We had a great time on a gorgeous fall day, and we laid the groundwork for a beautiful spring forest view from the Pavilion balcony. There will be more Saturday opportunities to participate in this project - watch the bulletin or contact Cathie if you'd like to help.
