Broom Revisited Saturday, January 9, 2010

The broom on the Cook Creek connector was first attacked last March (2009) by Jack Newman, Hugh Todd and Gord Debad. The plan was (and is) to now plant trees which will hopefully shade the broom shoots that still survive. So today, in a driving rain, a group of hardy souls clambered up the muddy hill to plant the young trees placed there earlier by Pam and Lise (presumably - I wasn't there).

OK little tree, GROW!
There you go, little tree. Nice tree!

John working too hard to look at camera

First, a little prayer ...
Half of the Forster team
Nice rain todds. Very appropriate for today.

Jack and Hugh, the seniority crew
The Upper Group
Empty flower pots look like spent shells in a battle
Oh, oh. Here comes the Boss!
