Ringtail Ridge adds a few trees

Saturday’s trail crew planted two new Texas Mulberry trees to the 45-acre natural area. A lantana was also planted at the entrance although the deer quickly found the unprotected planting. The crew also lopped and string-trimmed around Tex’s Trail. Todd began the job of hand-lettering the entrance sign with yellow paint.

Next Saturday’s (11/19) crew will tackle similar chores at Prospect Park starting at 8 a.m. If time permits, we’ll also be lopping volunteer mesquite in the meadow to control the number of trees that crowd-out the all-important grasses.  -LJ
