In preparation for tuesday’s construction, castro street between Marina Vista and Escobar was closed today, along with the lane nearest the bridge on both streets.
The work saw the first tree casualty as the forklift bringing the metal plates the crane will rest on knocked out a street tree. If it weren’t for our friends at the county building there would be no access at all, but at least a narrow path was left for them.
Worth A Dam was contacted today by Dave Scola to ask whether we would help Skip Lisle supplemental feed and help him to use the infra red temperature device we offered for lodge readings. He also said that when the trees are topped we will have access to the cuttings to decide whether they should be for feed or removed. I asked him to contact the city parks manager to identify other sources of Arroyo Willow we could cut along the creek.
Even if we are prevented from being anywhere close to the work, Worth A Dam will be on hand. We are armed with spotting scopes, walky talkies, infra red thermometers and spotlights. If the beavers can be protected, they will be.
