“The Earth is given as a common for men to labor and live in.” -Thomas Jefferson

Just a quick post to share a photo of my stewardship colleagues… We took a day most recently to, together, paddle the Cold Stream in Passadumkeag. …as means of most important comradery and to complete an annual site check of our nature preserve bisected by the waterway. It’s home to some rare plants and mussels, and the Tomah mayfly – sometimes referred to as a living fossil. The nymph stage shows greatly expanded, wing like structures on the abdomen that are reminiscent of characteristics seen in fossil mayflies from the Carboniferous era. The streams and adjacent wetlands were magnificent, and we sure did have lots of fun on this prefect fall day. It’s difficult work, but someone must do it!
