We will meet at 9:00 AM at the PGC building on SGL 219. We will travel to the SGL 140 location from there.

What a day to be working in long pants, long sleeves, gloves and a hat!!!! 90, hot and humid!! Don't forget about the bugs either!! Here are some pics from the area we applied herbicide to. We did 4 to 5 acres of brush that was ground up with the FECON and we applied herbicide to any invasives (multi-flora rose, honeysuckle and olive)in the area. The NEPA Chapter of RGS and the Susquehanna Branch of QDMA were represented. We also had help from two students from Penn Tech and the PGC F&C Corp guys. Teamwork makes the job easier and gets a lot accomplished especially with the F&CC budget basically slashed in half due to lack of funds. Here are some pics from the area. I'll post a group pic when Phil sends it to me. BTW, I was mistaken on the location of this project. We did work on SGL 219, not SGL 140. Too many projects going on!!!
The NEPA RGS sign. We will use them at all our habitat projects in the future.
This field has been converted to NWSGs. The Big Blue, Little Blue, Switchgrass and Grama Grass are as tall as the Shasta Daisies.
