Prof. Berven is back in the forest this week, clearing up a lot of the damage and fallen trees that are around the frog pond. We chatted a little bit about the possibility of having him look at the front lawn area as a refuge for the brown and green frogs during the summer. I had seen some frogs when I was cutting the tall grass last year, and I think that the frogs are living in there (at least some of them).
It's interesting to note that Prof. Berven has been coming to the forest several years, and previous caretakers have made comments about his comings and goings.
