We practiced social distancing from Charlie with Jack and Bogey, Leona and Werner, Randy with Chesney and Murphy, Lisa, Carolyn, Ron with Ginni, Lynn, Andrea, Melinda and Rob with Bosley, Micah, Steve with Chimo, Erwin with Nova, Barbara and Jack with Mocha, Lynn, Christa during our walks.

Leona and Werner have retired as Caretaker’s of the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. They have been hard working individuals, tirelessly keeping the paths and buildings operating. They have a superb attitude toward the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and the people who visit it. They made the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve a wonderful place to visit. We will miss seeing them.
