It was GREAT!!  We learned why Hard'Ack is called Hard'Ack, identified invasive bushes that are spreading from expensive neighbour landscapes to Hard'Ack via berry eating birds, hunters toilet paper, acorn cap whistles, Wolf Monument, Saint Albans City Lookout, bugs, slugs and so much more!  Pictures supplied by Mrs. Rochleau Checking out trees near the entrance to Hard'ack off Congress Street. Checking out the cross-country trails on the east side of Hard'ack Turning over a log on one of the approximately five miles of trails in these very local woods. MONDAY AFTERNOON - St. Albans Town Forest Monday afternoon adventure of Exploring our local Ecosystems.  The Town Forest was formerly used as a maple sugar bush.  It has now been converted to a destination with hiking and bird watching trails. A small pond can be accessed by one of the trails.  To get to the forest the crew drove a few miles over the top of French hill, just east of St. Albans. The Town Forest is less than five miles from St. Albans City School - off of French Hill Road. Pictures supplied by Erin Rochleau TUESDAY AFTERNOON These pictures were taken at Stevens Brook near Bob's Meat Market.  The crew once again collected stream samples for later analysis.  They found less diversity of insects and life at this lower point on the brook than they had found higher up earlier in the day.
