Saylorville

We arrived here Saturday afternoon and parked in our favorite site in volunteer village. Our door side faces a small grass field and a forested area. We put out our bird feeders and enjoy watching the birds and the deer that pass through the area. Several other volunteers were here already. We visited our families here on Sunday, and I started work on Monday morning.
We picked up a trailer load of trees from a nursery near here and planted them on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, I built fences around part of them and helped with a prairie burn. These are deliberate controlled burns that are done to control invasives and improve the prairie. Very interesting to watch and participate in a small way. It has been a good spring for burning and the crew here has burned most of the prairies this year.
