We just completed our first workday for the year on Saturday March 28th. It
was a glorious beautiful day to work outside and the park looks great! We
had the "old" crew out. Linda Potter, Jerry Potter, Deren Ross, Annette
Nylander, Mary Westfall, Jennifer Wright and I. Wes Babcock worked alone
earlier in the week, he couldn't be with us on Saturday. We had a new
recruit, Margaret Andrews who came with 6 legs. Two pruning the
blackberries and the other 4 eating any green grass the mowers missed. We
could have done a lot more but ran out of time and volunteers. We could use
additional volunteers. Anything from hand pruning to weed wacking would
be a big help and if you can't stay the full 4 hours that's ok. If you can
help but don't think you have the tools, don't worry, I always bring extra
tools.
The next TRNR work day is Saturday April 25th from 8 am to 12 noon. Be
sure to bring gloves and drinking water.
If you have any questions, Please do not hesitate contacting me. email:
dave_lbha@faoro.us

of the picnic areas are being assigned to individuals who

TRAYLOR RANCH
WORKDAYS OF 2008 Starting in March
The first Traylor
Ranch Nature Reserve workday will be the 4th Saturday of the month, from 8:00 a.m.

the sun and has grown a good crop of grass. We will be mowing trails,
picnic areas and the grinding rocks area as well as weed eating around
the signs and rocks where the mowers can't reach. Please come help
spruce things up and make the trails easier to traverse. Bring
mowers, weed-eaters, gloves, shovels (for filling rodent holes) water
and lots of good humor. We always have fun, do good work and leave
the place looking all the better for our efforts. Come one, come

A LITTLE
HISTORY
On February 10, 1998 the
Board of Supervisors approved the Traylor Ranch Nature Reserve.
Hurrah! The same afternoon, Supervisor Robert Weygandt and Placer
County Parks Department representatives presented a granite
plaque to the Traylor’s in recognition of their donation.
This plaque will be mounted on a granite slap at the entrance to
the Reserve. We are very grateful to the Traylor's for this
generous donation of almost 90 acres. They also donated $1,000.00
to the Traylor Ranch Nature Reserve Fund to help with the
project.
Loomis
Basin Horsemen's Association, a non-profit information
and awareness organization founded in 1983 dedicated to
trails, the arena at the Park and the Rural Life Style.
LBHA will be maintaining and managing the Nature Reserve
with the help of the Sierra Foothill Audubon Society,
other volunteer groups and friends. LBHA is now looking
for chairmen to head both the Fund-raising Committee and
the Maintenance Committee.
If you are
interested, please contact Linda or Jerry Potter
(916-652-5339). Jerry Potter and Tom Baggaley are heading
the Master Plan Committee .
Here's a map
of how to get to the Traylor Ranch Nature Reserve.
|
| LBHA will be in charge of
volunteer workers to provide maintenance and scheduling
of of the Property. Trails will be mowed throughout the
Ranch. We are hoping to get everyone involved from 4-H,
Birders, Walkers and Joggers both as workers and with
financial help. LBHA will provide volunteers to help with
the maintenance of the Preserve. There is a lot to be done - and now
that the Reserve is a fact, we shall begin. A mailer for
more donations will be sent out soon. Any suggestions for
businesses who might be willing
to donate materials and or $$$$, should be passed on to
the above listed numbers.

COUNTY
STARTS DRIP SYSTEM AT TRAYLOR NATURE RESERVE
The
county maintenance crew mowed the center area and is now mowing the grass where
they will be installing the drip system’s pipelines.
Please don’t ride/walk on these newly mowed
areas
– stay on the marked trails. These
new areas have been mowed only to make the installation of the drip system
possible. This drip system will enable the newly planted trees to
thrive and grow to shade and add beauty to the reserve. We appreciate your
cooperation in this effort.
