Event Coordinator Elise Carlson snapped this photo of View board member Gary Lee -- retired ranger and not-retired writer, photographer and naturalist -- as he was perusing the field above View’s parking lot earlier today, August 8. He was pulling invasive clover and planting Sweet Peas.
Gary shares
his knowledge and love of the natural world by offering free guided hikes and
presentations. He offers annual nature hikes in the summer to explore Ferd’s
Bog, located off the Uncas Road in Eagle Bay, and the Remsen Bog. He also leads
a butterfly hike around View.
The
bog hikes took place in June, but the butterfly walk will take place at 10 am
on Friday, August 10 at View. Gary will also give a power point presentation
titled, “Wildflowers for Your Garden,” at 7 pm on Tuesday, August 14 at View.
If you
are interested in birds, flowers, great photos, and wonderful stories of the
outdoors, then Gary’s your guy. He’s also on good terms with the local moose.
But as Gary likes to say, “That’s another story.”
