So, please, feel free to mark your planners and then to join us when you can? As I said above, we'll be sure to post the week before to confirm the date and the grove, but, FYI, rain on the day will always cancel us. See you out there, Susan Benoit

Friends of Robinson State park Bio Blitz 6/20 thru 6/22 2008 at Robinson State Park, MA. Hi all, The Friends of Robinson State Park will be holding the second Bio Blitz on 6/20 thru 6/22 2008 at Robinson State Park. About 25% of the park area was covered last year, and we wish to continue of course. The major difference this year is that the DCR commissioner has pledged support for the event from DCR. Since DCR will be actively involved, there should be no controversy such as that caused by the former timber harvest plans there. Anyone that would like to attend email:  bioblitz@friendsofrobinsonstatepark.org and keep an eye on the friends website for more information.  We'd love to have some consulting forester's attend and provide education for the public, as was done by participants from many fields last year. The Rapid Bio Assessment of the streams that was conducted with help by the Scouts and other groups, is a perfect example.  The current DCR commissioner was provided with a report by someone that attended, and he was very impressed on how it involved the public in studies of the outdoors. We have identified 55 species of trees alone at Robinson thus far. We have a few from an old list that have not been re-discovered. They may be historic, or just hiding.  It will be a great event, hope some or all of you will attend. Ray Weber Friends of Robinson State Park

  looking at hard-to-measure trees; trees on slopes, leaning trees, crooked
  trees. I'm hoping that some of you CTP Awards Jury members will be able to
  attend, and bring along their measuring equipment.
