Bring your stringed instruments and join us at the picking circle or just come on out to listen. This will be under the pavilion between playground and the little creek behind the library in Trussville .

Isaias took out the bass wood on our Cahaba River Tree Trail. Even in death, trees are amazing. Look how thin the live wood and bark were that were holding that big tree up. Wow! We have another basswood on the tree trail, so I guess relocating that sign will be a future project.

The train derailments yesterday in Springville and Maplesville have raised plenty of interesting questions, including “why is there garbage on trains”. The amount of trash that rolls into our state is appalling. We hope the mess is cleared and the smell is gone quickly for our friends in Springville and Maplesville. Our lawmakers cannot ban the import of garbage because of federal trade regulations, but they could work towards having better regulations that would limit the amount of trash that comes into our state.

Over the last few years we have worked with the City of Trussville to protect our creek banks. Places that were once mowed to the edge of the water are now happy riparian areas providing habitat for pollinators and protection for Pinchgut Creek. I’m always excited to find wildflowers in the mix. Check out the pretty Winged Loosestrife blooming right now.
