"Don't hug a tree on Earth Day. Trees are rough and they don't hug back. Go hug another person, then go out and plant a tree!" TRECYCLE Day 4 - Seven trees planted at Char-Mar Ridge Preserve in Delaware County. Craig and Patrick, natural resource technicians for the Preservation Parks provided me with a shovel and encouragement. Tom, a volunteer at the park showed me where the bluebirds nest and I spotted a female entering the nesting box. Females are not as bright blue as the males. Other interesting and beautiful sights along the way, included the Kokosing Gap Trail between Mount Vernon and Gambier was spectacular with hillsides covered in Trillium and Dutchman's Breeches. It was also a wild day for weather, chilly with sunshine and high winds and even, for two very brief moments in the morning and afternoon, it snowed! Staying the night down a long 2 mile gravel lane along the Mohican River at the non-denominational Joy of Living Camp. Thank you caretaker Bert for setting me up with my own little lodge.
