Stopped by Retzer Nature Center for Aldo Leopold Weekend, the anniversary celebration of Leopold's 3/4/48 writing of the foreword to A Sand County Almanac. I've been thinking more about him since stealing his idea for this blog's title. Bought the book from Retzer's store for a very resonable price. (As a side note, I spent about the same price for McNuggets and fries on the way home. I'm fairly certain I'll get more out of the book... maybe even for a lifetime... than ever I would've got from McD's.)
Larry, the Retzer naturalist, gave me many good suggestions on getting the word out on April's count and even offered to put up a poster in the Nature Center. Making a poster is my next task.
I sent out my first email two days ago to the past counters and have already heard from a few. Now that March, and the beginning of meteorological spring, is here things are moving fast. I'll be composing a flyer to post in nature type stores, contacting schools and scouts and thinking of other ways to get word out.
It's a beautiful sunny Saturday today. Thinking spring.
