Another Chainsaw Thursday

We're slowly getting rid of that one patch of trees. Maybe by December we'll be done. Today I finished the tractor training so I can finally mow the verbesina. That's a lot easier than spraying, although we'll still have to spray the new sprouts that pop up.

The NOAA ship "Oscar Elton Sette" is coming back tomorrow. It will pick up Angie, one of the seal people, and leave right away again. We'll also have a plane tomorrrow afternoon so it'll be an interesting day.

This is what the bunchgrass looks like. We're trying to get it to grow pretty much over the entire island.

This is the Fish & Wildlife office. That is a whale skeleton that was on the beach. It's in the native plant garden where we have examples of most of our native plants.
