Trail signs were made by Bennie Oglesby of Marion.
Thomas Wilson and Marshall Colburn selected the positions and put the signs in
place. This was hot work out in the swamps in mid-August.
Judson
College Earth Team members helped Dr. Wilson with attaching identification
labels to Park trees. |

Dr. Thomas Wilson, Judson College Biologist, and
the JC Earth Team are installing six benches in the Park. The benches are
positioned at ecologically and inspirationally important places. The quiet
beauty of the Park makes it a very special place to pause, meditate, reflect,
and become one with nature. |

Angi Gullard, Lauren Stephens, and Erin Troy are
Judson College Earth Team members. They enjoyed a moment with a salamander
during a Park work day.
Judson Earth Team members have spent many Friday
afternoons clearing the Park trails of trees felled by hurricanes Ivan and
Katrina. We have about 10 more trees left on the trails and then we wait on the
next wind to blow (Feb. 2006). |
