"While You Were Out"
Renovating the Chassahowitzka NWR Winter Pen Site
 |
| Charlie Shafer (Patuxent), Joyce Kleen (Chassahowitzka NWR),
Gerald Murphy and Jerry Ulrikson (OM volunteers) work their way
through the muck to make sure the perimeter fence is secure. |
 |
| The pen is 8-ft. tall, and constructed of heavy plastic fencing.
The lower green section is strong enough to deter any wild pigs from
burrowing inside. In the distance you can see the observation blind
used by the winter monitoring staff. |
 |
| Lara Fondow, Sara Zimorski (ICF) and Mark Nipper (OM) carefully
inspect the large open topped section to ensure it is still secure
after the hurricanes that pummeled the area last summer. |

boots deeper with each step. |
