| ULLRS HIKE AT TERRACE OAKS After two cancellations due to rain and mud, hike host Nancy S kept her fingers crossed for a nice day with good trail conditions on the third try. It worked! Ten ULLRs came to hike at Terrace Oaks West Park on May 10th. The temperature was cool with some wind, but lots of leaves on the trees protected the group from the wind. Poles were useful as the trails included several short but steep hills. Nancy S cautioned hikers about loose gravel on hills where walking on the trail sides was safer. ULLRs had hiked at Terrace Oaks in 2019 when the Park was in the process of early restoration of about 26 acres to oak savannah. At that time, we saw areas where trees were marked with pink ribbons that said Do Not Cut. Everything else in those areas was cleared, and there were lots of piles of debris. This year in 2021, we saw the previously pink-ribboned trees standing tall in sunlight surrounded by grasses. Following the hike, our ULLRs were grateful to sit down for a while to have lunch at Jensen’s Café in Burnsville. |
