Use of the Forest
Public use of Saginaw Forest is encouraged. Rules for the public's use include (but are not limited to):
A well-ordered flock of Canada geese overflew the place ~5:00. Snow melting, temp. ~40ยบ. 2 hours repairing the fence. The north fence is still a mess thanks to the loggers of the April Forest. Rewired the N.E. corner ... the corner post down due to treefall, probably 2-4 years ago.
XXXXXX called regarding local citizens effort (letter writing + petition drive) Re: Gelman's deep injection well.
1 hour of touch-up painting inside the cabin.
6" ice rim around lake; heavy snow in morning.
Many tracks in the new snow... Traffic appears heavy in 3:00 → 6:00 range → mostly dog walkers and birders.
First honest snowfall!! Third Ssister Lake totally free but pond on the west of the forest is frozen over (±) as of last week.
Cabin broken into! The west side window was forced open after the screen was slit. Nothing missing, but a search was made of everything. The U.M. Campus police were called as were Washtenaw County Sherrif's department.
Perimeter patrol, poison ivy chopping spree, grapevine cutback also.
