<h2>
Thank you AmeriCorp Volunteers!</h2>
<br />
Last week we said goodbye to the seven AmeriCorp volunteers that had been helping TLC for the past three weeks. They were a great group of young people who were hard working, polite and funny. All were 18 - 24 years old and from the four corners of the US as well as the heartland. We wish them well on their next project and will be forever grateful for their work at TLC. <br />

This was the third year working with the CCIU students who braved the heat this year to help continue the restoration and archaeological work at the Cemetery and church site. The Land Conservancy for Southern Chester County (TLC) has been working with the New Garden Memorial UAME Church since 2011 along with the help of restorationist Eugene Hough of Saving Hallowed Ground. You can read more about the restoration and history of Bucktoe Cemetery <a href="http://tlcforscc.org/historic/bucktoe-cemetery/" target="_blank">here</a>. This year's program at Bucktoe Cemetery was funded through generous support from CCRES, Inc. and the Sara Bowers Fund.<br />

Students with the CCIU work with Eugene Hough in the cemetery to help locate signs of the missing graves as there are known to be over 120 individuals buried at the site, including at least 8 Civil War veterans. This year's work paid off as part of a headstone was found in the southwest area of the site. As you can see,<b> the headstone belonged to a woman who died in 1870</b> and was found at the base of a tree.</div>

Another exciting find in the cemetery this year was a penny, but this was <b>no ordinary penny. It dates to 1880 and is from the Netherlands</b>. The words you see on the front of the coin say <i>Koningrijk der Nederlanden</i> or Kingdom of the Netherlands. The reason behind its presence is unknown at this point, but it makes for a fascinating find.</div>

Besides working in the cemetery, the students helped continue archaeological excavations of the church site. The New Garden Memorial UAME church burned in 1904 and the congregation moved into Kennett Square where they have been located on Linden Street ever since. The exact location of the church foundation is unknown, but the general location is clear. Students are helping excavate small archaeological units to uncover remnants of the church and determine the exact dimensions. This year the students began to uncover large amounts of debris from the stone church including mortar, window glass, cut nails, and charcoal possibly from the wood floor or beams. The deeper the students go, the more frequently they uncover streaks of ash from the burning of the church.</div>

The final segment of the students' day included a hike around the adjacent Bucktoe Creek Preserve where they discussed how the land reflects history. Students learned to interpret the landscape to best determine where landowners were more likely to build or not based on the available resources. Students visited multiple ruins on the Preserve and learned more about the community around the church. </div>

weekend, so we bundled up Friday night, met our full group of owl prowlers,
along with our two owl experts, and started learning about the owls that
frequent Chester County. Tim and Kelley, our owl experts for the night, went
through the 8 species of owls that can be spotted in Chester County, spouting
fascinating facts about owls to our captivated audience. Did you know owls are
completely silent when they fly? All other birds’ feathers make a “whoosh
whoosh” noise as they fly through the air, but owls’ feathers are completely
silent, making it easier for them to sneak up on their prey. </span></div>

was a windy, chilly night, making our chances of seeing or hearing an owl
pretty low, but we had high hopes as we split our group into two for our hike.
This allows each group to be quieter, which theoretically gives us a better
chance of sneaking up on an owl. As the group I was with proceeded into the
woodlands, we stopped to try to call for an Eastern Screech Owl, followed by a
Barred Owl. We were unsuccessful, but decided to search for eye shine in case
we hadn’t seen the bird fly in. As we scanned the trees, we noticed two small
eyes, with greenish/yellow eye shine peering back at us from a tall, distant
tree. The creature kept staring at us, turning its head away a few times, but
it seemed generally undisturbed by us, until we finally decided to move on,
unsure of who we had just crossed paths with. Afterwards, one of our
participants Annette, did a little detective work and found out that owls only
have red eye shine. I followed up her detective work with a little of my own to
find raccoons are the most likely animals to be in that habitat with a
greenish/yellow eye shine. How fascinating that you can identify nocturnal
animals by the color of their eye shine! We continued on, but unfortunately the
wind was keeping the owls quiet. We met back up with the second group, who were
unable to find owls either, for a nice wrap up with some delicious hot
chocolate to warm up with. While we didn’t see any owls, our participants were
certainly not disappointed, and I’m sure we will see them back for the next owl

of our Wildlife in Winter: Adaptations program, but with the weather being in
the 60’s it certainly didn’t feel like winter! Many families joined
Environmental Educator Holly Merker, eager to learn a bit about our native
animals, and hopeful that we would find some evidence and maybe even spot some critters living on Bucktoe Creek Preserve. We started out learning a little bit
about the adaptations animals may use to help themselves survive through the
winter. Some animals, such as fox and squirrels, do a behavior called caching.
This means when their food source is abundant, they save some and store it for
a time when it might not be so easy to find food. Other animals use camouflage
to keep themselves hidden since the habitat in the winter is much sparser. Our
taxidermy fox was a perfect example, the browns and reds of the fur blended
perfectly with the meadow. We learned that some birds go into a state of torpor
every night, meaning their heart and respiration rates slow down and their body
heat drops, effectively conserving the energy they have so diligently built up
during the day. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">Once we were filled with interesting tidbits on adaptations
our native animals use, we went out on the trail with a scavenger hunt as our
guide. We wanted to find tracks, scat, and any other sorts of evidence left
behind, and we were not disappointed! Almost immediately after being on the
trail, we spotted some fox scat, along with little holes built by rodents on
the sides of the trails. A participant quickly spotted a praying mantis egg
case, and a little further down the trail we found an insect gall. We were
lucky enough to see a rabbit scurry into the bushes, and hear an Eastern Towhee
singing from the brush. Everybody had a wonderful time, and maybe even learned
a little bit too! Join us for a last <a href="https://app.etapestry.com/cart/TheLandConservancyforSouth_1/default/category.php?ref=1683.0.103155755">Wildlife in Winter program held on March26th from 1:00pm-2:30pm, focused on Migration.</a> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria";"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As I’m writing this blog post, rain and ice has been falling since yesterday. The cold
temperatures, rain, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and ice may make you want to stay inside, bundled nice and
warm, but here at TLC, we believe “the warmth is in the walk!” Despite the
16-degree weather last Saturday, a room full of winter-ready, excited
participants joined me and expert TLC Naturalist, Gary, to learn all about the
Mammals of Southeastern Pennsylvania. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The program started out indoors at TLC’s Walnut Hill
Headquarters, where Gary laid out fascinating pelts, skulls, and antlers of
mammals from our area. </span><span style="font-family: "cambria";"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Gary began the program by talking about what makes a mammal
a mammal: being warm-blooded, having hair, birthing live babies (except for
Platypuses, which lay eggs, of course), and having mammary glands. He touched
on the apex predators which historically lived here, including the Eastern
Timberwolf, the Bobcat, and the Black Bear, and how in their absence, the
ecosystem has changed completely. Naturally, this brought us to a discussion about
the White-tailed Deer, whose populations have exploded in recent years because
of the lack of the apex predators. This explosion in Deer has given the
invasive plants in our area an advantage; the White-tailed Deer have evolved to
choose the native plants as their food source leaving invasives like Autumn-olive,
Multiflora rose, and Mile-a-Minute completely untouched.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria";"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Then, we started to talk about other families of mammals:
Canines (Coyotes, Eastern Gray Fox, and Red Fox), the Felines (Bobcats), the
Weasels (Minks, Otters, Martins) and more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gary discussed the different senses these mammals use—how Canines with
their long noses utilize their sense of smell, and Felines have short noses,
but big eyes which allow them to hunt primarily by sight. He pulled out a
Coyote skull, and showed us how these carnivores have teeth built for tearing
and slicing meat as opposed to the teeth of herbivorous deer, which primarily
have molars for grinding vegetation. As omnivores, human teeth fall somewhere
in-between, with both incisors for tearing and molars for grinding.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria";"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At that point, we grabbed our Tracks & Scat field
guides, bundled up, and headed outside</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">to search for evidence of mammals in the
area. Since we had already learned most mammals are nocturnal, we knew
searching for evidence is the best way to understand what is living in our
area. Just steps away, right beneath the Chandler Mill Bridge we were able to
find a large amount of frozen tracks in the mud. We immediately spotted some
tiny tracks leading up to the creek, which we keyed out to be a gray squirrel.
We moved further along the creek, and found raccoon tracks, more squirrel
tracks, domestic dog tracks, and what we believe were mink tracks!</span></span></span></div>

Celebration</strong> on
Friday morning. Many families gathered at the teaching shed, excited to
go on a hike to collect natural materials to create holiday ornaments.
We took a long, meandering hike through beautiful meadows, forests, and
conifer groves, picking out the perfect materials to create ornaments
fashioned to look like reindeer, squirrels, Christmas trees, and
anything else we wanted! Our crafting materials included natural items
such as rose hips, foxtails, leaves, pine cones, bark, and moss. Once we
pulled together all of our materials, we got our imagination and
creative juices flowing. A few of our participants were kind enough to
leave behind some of their ornaments to help us decorate our evergreen
tree during the <strong>Winter Solstice Celebration on Tuesday, December 22<sup>nd</sup></strong>!<br />

The next morning, we started off our <strong>Children’s I-Spy birding</strong> at 9AM with some very dedicated young birders. By beginning at the feeders, we were able to get beautiful looks at American<br />

Goldfinches and White-breasted Nuthatches through the scope. We also got to learn about the call of the American Goldfinch, which sounds like a rubber ducky being squeezed! Once we started off on the trail, we were inundated with sparrows darting through the brushy habitat. We heard the White-throated Sparrows singing “Old Sam Peabody, Peabody, Peabody” and could see the gray bodies and white undersides of the Dark-eyed Juncos. As we kept walking, a gorgeous, adult Red-tailed Hawk soared right over us, letting us see the dark red tail feathers, and the dark belly band. <strong>Our next Children’s I-Spy Birding will be held on Saturday, January 30<sup>th</sup>.</strong> Come out and join us and see what we can find!<br />
<br />
This weekend also marked the end of our annual <strong>Bucktoe Creek Preserve Hawk Watch</strong>. Every year from September 1<sup>st</sup> through November 30<sup>th</sup>, Larry Lewis of Early Bird Nature Tours runs our Hawk Watch out of the Warm Season Grass Meadow. Even though it was the last weekend of the season, the birds did not disappoint. Sharp-shinned Hawks were flying over at a constant rate, a few Bald Eagles made an appearance, and we even had a Peregrine Falcon speed past! Mark your calendars for next year to come out and scan the skies with our experts to learn about the different migrating hawks over this area! Not only can you spot hawks, but also numerous songbirds use this amazing habitat, along with a multitude of butterflies. We have hundreds of migrating monarchs fly over the hawk watch each season!<br />

Last Friday, October 30th, marked The Land Conservancy for Southern Chester
County’s Halloween Owl Prowl. 30 excited participants gathered at Bucktoe Creek
Preserve in the hopes of capturing a glimpse of these elusive nocturnal birds
that frequent the property. With a little bit of light left in the day, we
started out by learning about the 8 owls that can be found in Pennsylvania and
the 3 target species for the night: Eastern Screech Owl, Barred Owl, and Great
Horned Owl. These are the three most common owls of Pennsylvania, and are all
known to live on or near Bucktoe Creek Preserve.<br />

Once we were all caught up on facts about the owls, had checked
out the taxidermy, and investigated some owl pellets, everybody was more than
excited to get out on the trail to try to find real live owls! We split into
two groups to give ourselves a better chance of finding owls, gathered our materials
and set out to see what we could find. Our first two stops yielded no results,
but at our third stop we heard our first owl! An Eastern Screech Owl, the
smallest of our common PA owls, called its <a href="http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eastern_Screech-Owl/sounds">whinny</a>
call. Invigorated by hearing our first owl, we moved on, certain that we would
find more, and we were not disappointed. At our next stop another Eastern
Screech Owl flew past us, landing on a tree not far from the trail, giving us a
wonderful look! As we continued the walk, we saw or heard at least three more
Screech Owls. They were putting on a show for us, silently flying past us to
check us out. We had a great time out on the trail searching for owls, maybe
next time we will get a Barred or Great Horned Owl!<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What does archaeology have to do with TLC? A lot! TLC has been working on a
collaborative project with the New Garden Memorial UAME Church and Eugene Hough
of Heritage Guild Works to restore and preserve the Bucktoe Cemetery. Starting
with grounds cleanup five years ago, the Cemetery has been restored and opened
to visitors to see the ruins of the former church building and the graves of
over 120 individuals including several documented African-American Civil War
veterans. To learn the history of Bucktoe, check out the full write up on the <a href="http://tlcforscc.org/historic/bucktoe-cemetery/">TLC history page</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Starting last year, New Garden Memorial UAME members, Eugene
Hough, and TLC staff have worked with the Chester County Intermediate Unit to
bring out students from the Migrant Education Program to learn about the
Cemetery and area history while helping excavate the church foundation and
document existing stones. This year’s
project has focused on exploring the center of the church and the front
foundation wall. On our first field day
last week, students started two shovel test pits (STPs) that are smaller than
standard excavation units to try and determine what remains currently exist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After only a day of excavations, students uncovered many
fragments from the collapsed church including mortar, stone, window glass, and
brick from the chimney. The students
working on the front stp along the potential foundation excavated several
inches and did start uncovering larger stones that could be related to the
foundation. Further excavation next week
will hopefully provide more answers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Out in the cemetery, students took turns working to uncover
assorted stones that could have been grave markers and footstones. Many people would use a large natural stone
to mark a grave if they could not afford a formal headstone. The students were
most excited about a small stone that was found to have a rough J carved into it. This most likely served as a simple
gravestone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In addition to the CCIU students, TLC brings out other
groups who have an interest in the site for customized programs to suit the
interests and needs of each group. This
past week we were thrilled to host Den 6 from Cub Scout Pack 136 of Avondale to
complete their Duty to God Adventure. We
were able to show the boys the foundation and some artifacts, they completed
rubbings of the original grave stones, and we hiked them to other ruins related
to the church. This helped the boys explore a site where people show reverence with Bucktoe Cemetery serving as a great example.</span><br />

The <b><a href="http://www.paabolition.org/">Pennsylvania Abolition Society</a></b>
was founded in 1775 in Philadelphia, and was the first abolition
society ever established. The Pennsylvania Abolition Society Endowment
Fund of the Philadelphia Foundation continues the legacy of their work
by awarding grants to organizations and programs that improve the lives
of African Americans in Pennsylvania. TLC is honored to be among these
grantees this year, with a generous grant awarded for our <b>2015 Bucktoe Cemetery Education Program.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
TLC has been working since 2010 to restore the <b><a href="http://tlcforscc.org/historic/bucktoe-cemetery/">Bucktoe Cemetery</a></b>,
an African American Civil War cemetery that is part of an important
historic African American community site. Thanks to the support of the
Pennsylvania Abolition Society, TLC will bring a group of students to
the site for five weeks, and the Bucktoe Cemetery and surrounding area
will become a Living History Classroom. Students will be immersed in our
local African American history through hands-on exploration, led by
Professional Restorationist Eugene Hough and TLC's staff. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Students
will conduct archaeological digs of the foundation of the original
church, which is believed to have been burned down by the Ku Klux Klan
in the early 1900s, and the area surrounding the cemetery. The program
will also include classroom sessions and hikes of the surrounding
natural and historic area. The program's goal is to connect and inform
students about our local African American history, honor the soldiers
buried in the Bucktoe Cemetery, and emphasize the ways in which land and
history are interconnected. </div>

Funding from the North Face Explore Fund will help TLC to expand the reach of our educational programming and bring groups from
underserved populations to experience the Bucktoe Creek Preserve at no
cost. This funding will enable us to bring groups from
organizations such as the Garage Youth Center, Tick Tock Early Learning
Center, and La Comunidad Hispana, to the property to explore the preserve’s 300 acres of meadows, woodlands,
streams, and ponds. The preserve is only open to the public through programming, and this funding will enable us to provide more
opportunities for the public to experience this amazing natural area! <b> </b></div>

This year, TLC has received two grants for our popular <b>Free Time Adventures in Nature Program</b>! This year will mark the third year of the program, which will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays in August at the <b>Bucktoe Creek Preserve</b>.
Each day, we will hike the preserve's trails, stopping along the way to
explore ponds, splash and skip stones in the creek, play games, do
nature crafts, and search for salamanders on the ground and kestrels in
the sky. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The
goal of Free Time Adventures in Nature is to immerse children in nature
through hands-on, self-guided exploration and play, which will lead
them to form powerful connections with the environment that they will
carry with them through life. We are extremely grateful to the grant
funders who support this program as it expands and improves each year.
This year, grant funding will also enable us to expand our inventory of
educational equipment for the program, such as binoculars, insect and
aquatic nets, field guides, and magnifying glasses.<br />
<br />
<b>"We
are thrilled to present this award to The Land Conservancy for Southern
Chester County," says Leesa Carter, Executive Director of the Captain
Planet Foundation. "We receive hundreds of submissions each year and
have to be very selective to whom we award funding. This is one of the
few projects from across the country that we chose to fund. We wish TLC
great success as they work to implement this important project. It is
our hope that our combined efforts will educate, empower, involve, and
invest today's youth to cultivate a better tomorrow."</b><br />

This Earth Day, the
DEP Environmental Education Grant Program announced their award of a
grant to TLC in support of our July, August, September, and October <b>Open Hive Days!</b> This monthly program provides an inside look inside the hives at TLC's <b><a href="http://tlcforscc.org/preserves/new-leaf-eco-center/">New Leaf Eco Center</a> Apiary</b>, guided by Beekeeper <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SunBearApiary?fref=ts"><b>Dan Borkoski</b></a>.
The program is open to people of all ages, and each session is packed
with information about honeybee life cycles, threats to honeybees such
as varroa mites and Colony Collapse Disorder, the importance of
pollinators to our environment, and honeybees' role in production of the
food we eat. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All
Open Hive Day participants will have the opportunity to get an up-close
look at the inner workings of a hives as Dan performs inspections and
maintenance. Those who choose to attend multiple sessions will observe
the evolution of a hive throughout the season. TLC offers protective
veils to ensure safety, and our observation hive and outdoor classroom
provide even more educational opportunities for attendees. The program
is the perfect opportunity for prospective beekeepers to receive
valuable advice about starting their own hives, and for current
beekeepers to discuss their techniques and experiences. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Snow, snow, snow! Winter is one of
our favorite times of year here at TLC. Not only do we get to participate in
seasonal activities such as skiing, ice skating, snow shoeing, tubing and more,
but we get to create great programs. We kicked off this winter with our yearly
Winter Solstice at the Stateline Woods Preserve. Bill Wood came out and shared
stories by the fireside. It was a great night to see the stars and decorate our
tree with some solar lights! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We have already hosted several
programs at the private Bucktoe Creek Preserve (BCP): an Evergreen Tree ID, a
Winter Tree ID and the first parts of our Wildlife in Winter series. Our
Evergreen Tree ID program featured tree experts from Bartlett. Not only did we
get to learn about Evergreens in our area, but we heard about the various
factors that threaten our forests and what tree experts do to protect against
them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Winter Tree ID took place a few
weeks later on beautiful winter day following a crisp snowfall. Our boots
crunched through the snow as we explored the arboretum at BCP. We focused on
simple ways one might identify a deciduous tree in the winter. With a finer eye
one might be able to distinguish trees based on their bud, but our most obvious
approach was to see if the trees left any leaves behind.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">However, the trees weren’t the only
ones leaving things behind! With snow on the ground our Wildlife in Winter
participants found tracks of deer, foxes and more around BCP. The first segment
of this series concentrated on hibernation and other forms of adaptation used
to survive the cold and bare winter months. Our guest educator Holly Merker
discussed topics from insect galls to hibernacula and more. Our second segment
focused on camouflage, one of the most important aspects of survival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

winter hasn’t been treating us too badly either (even if we’ve reached some

Chester County Astronomical Society will be coming out on March 21<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>
from 8-9:30pm to guide us through the skies as we explore the constellations
visible to us. A week later on the 28<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>, Holly Merker will be
returning to Bucktoe for our final part of the Wildlife in Winter Series,
focused on migration. With the change in weather we will be able to find
species returning to their northern homes for the spring and summer. If you are
looking for any more signs of spring, don’t forget that spring break is coming
up! TLC will be hosting Spring Break in Nature on March 30<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>, April
1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> and April 3<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> from 10am-2pm. Get the kids outside to
shake off the winter cold, as we play, create and explore the habitats of creatures
residing in the water, on the land and in the skies.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We will also be hosting our first
Community Read event of the year on March 21<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>! Inspired by this
year’s read: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, TLC brings to you “Nature
that Inspires: The Walk,” from 2-4pm at the Bucktoe Creek Preserve (it is not
necessary to have read the book to participate, but contact us at TLC if you
would like a copy). This program has a follow up on March 25<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> from
6-7:30pm at the Bayard Taylor Library, “Nature that Inspires: The Workshop,” where
you can try your own hand at nature writing with the guidance of the Writer’s

</tbody></table>
Although we love to get outside in all weather, this frosty winter day has TLC looking ahead to the warmer seasons and the changes they will bring. The biggest of these changes will be turning the Chandler Mill Nature Preserve from vision to reality.<br />
<br />
After ten years of advocacy and perseverance by TLC, the Chandler Mill Bridge Consortium, and the community, and thanks to a visionary decision by the Kennett Township Board of Supervisors, the 105-year-old <a href="http://tlcforscc.org/historic/chandler-mill-bridge/">Chandler Mill Bridge</a> is finally safe from demolition. The National Register site will become a pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency vehicle access only bridge, a key link in the <a href="http://tlcforscc.org/red-clay-greenway/">Red Clay Greenway Trail System</a>. The surrounding area will become the <a href="http://www.razoo.com/story/Chandler-Mill-Nature-Preserve">Chandler Mill Nature Preserve</a>, open to the public and preserved in perpetuity. TLC will have a presence at the preserve, both in our daily stewardship of the land, and in the new Headquarters and Interpretive Nature Center. In a few months, the area will be buzzing with life in its woodlands, meadows, and creeks. Eastern bluebirds will begin to nest, wood thrushes will practice their singing, wildflowers will emerge, and TLC will begin the work of making the site safe and accessible, building trails, adding improvements such as bird boxes and signage, and making the Chandler Mill Nature Preserve the best it can be. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgOu1lJj4c9ANMAicccTFtk3rboZu7DICDQ5GGcXoHQDgnjnX0ZxqCyURdNAJiwsqm_6rXVWSOFUyqN-Dpw1p29aUEjtt-P-pFeVXOtRdtPMRBtCB8lQxL0ai827YLjDT4cagH-cUZB-As/s1600/cmb+characture+on+bridge.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />

</tbody></table>
We envision people of all ages and experience levels hiking and biking the trails, meandering through the meadows and woodlands, pausing to view the Bucktoe Cemetery and historic mill race, and watching hawks ascending over the trees. The preserve will be a place to teach your children and grandchildren to skip stones, to unwind before the sun goes down after a stressful day at work, and to walk your dogs in the morning. It will serve as an outdoor classroom, with environmental education programs and guided hikes hosted by TLC year-round, as well as the self-guided learning that happens any time you explore the outdoors. This public nature preserve will benefit the community for generations to come, and its land and natural resources will be preserved in perpetuity. TLC's goal is to open the Chandler Mill Nature Preserve, Headquarters, and Interpretive Nature Center to the public within one year. <br />
<br />
When the Chandler Mill Bridge was built in 1910, it provided a vital transit link for area farmers to bring their goods to Kennett Square's market center. Over time, our area and its needs have changed. Though we no longer rely on Chandler Mill Road to bring goods from farms to market, our community needs open space, places to enjoy nature, and the ensured protection of our vital natural resources, which cannot be replaced. Now, rather than being demolished and replaced with an oversized highway bridge, the Chandler Mill Bridge will remain standing as a beacon for land conservation, historic preservation, and walkable communities.<br />
<br />
We can't wait to see you there!<br />

This is a fun time for coyotes as there can be left over deer parts scattered around from successful hunts. Our hunters captured a coyote this time last year on a game camera and as you can see below our canine friends are sticking around. This clear photo was taken on November 29th 2014 and shows a coyote hot on the trail of a deer no doubt.<br />

<br />
Eastern Coyotes are a popular topic of discussion and they typically get
a fairly unforgiving light shone upon them. Eastern coyotes typically
weigh 30 to 50 pounds and they are 48 to 60 inches long. Territories of
coyotes range from 5 to 25 square miles and the territories are shared
by a mated pair and their offspring. Coyotes breeding season is
January to March and they are quite vocal during this time. <br />
<br />
Coyotes are a natural and important part of our ecosystem (the rumors
that they were introduced by the game commission or insurance companies
are false) and it is worth learning more about them and their habits.
Coyotes have a wide ranging diet and are advantageous eaters. Open
trash containers are easy pickings for food sources, as are small pets.
It is important to lock up your pets in the evening. Coyotes have
been in Chester County for a number of years, and potentially have been
in the Stateline Woods area for quite some time.<br />
<br />
As a species, coyotes have been very adaptable in increasingly urban
settings but with proper precautions, we can coexist with this predator
quite nicely. We want to make sure you are armed with information, but
also know that coyotes are not cause for alarm. Please feel free to
contact us with any additional questions regarding coyotes at Stateline
Woods Preserve at 610-347-0347 ext. 106 or <a href="mailto:stewardship@tlcforscc.org">landmanager@tlcforscc.org</a><br />

<b>3. TLC makes a fabulous travel companion</b><br />
In 2012, we launched our TLC Travels program with a conservation partnership excursion to Aigas Field Centre in the Scottish Highlands. Travelers explored an amazing array of native flora and fauna, experienced centuries-old historic sites, and learned about Aigas’ pioneering conservation projects. Members are invited to join <a href="http://tlcforscc.org/events/tlc-travels/scotland/">TLC Travels the Scottish Highlands 2015</a>, a trip that’s not to be missed! <br />
<br />
<b>4. We love your dogs</b><br />
At TLC’s nature preserves, dogs are allowed off-leash as long as they are under your control. Our Stateline Woods Preserve even provides doggy composters as an eco-friendly way to dispose of pet waste. Your pup can show his TLC pride with our <a href="https://app.etapestry.com/cart/TheLandConservancyforSouth_1/default/item.php?ref=347.0.37941327">Canine Pals Membership</a>—you’ll get all the perks of an individual membership, and we’ll send a dog tag with the TLC logo. Next time you two are out walking on the preserves, everyone will know you’ve contributed to keeping the land beautiful. <br />
<br />
<b>5. We love your horses</b><br />
We know better than anyone that one of the best ways to view Southern Chester County is from on a horse! Our preserves allow ride-in access, and many of our trails are equine-friendly. This year, your horse or pony can become an honorary TLC member with our <a href="https://app.etapestry.com/cart/TheLandConservancyforSouth_1/default/item.php?ref=347.0.2934837">Equine Pals Membership</a>!

Pennsylvania, including Chester County begins on December 1st, the Monday
after Thanksgiving. Whether you are a hunter, hiker, or
horseback rider there are some things that you should keep in mind to
make your outdoor experiences pleasant for all during this time.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Educate yourself about where you spend time outdoors. Natural lands with active recreation often have deer management plans in place that include various hunting schedules. Also, there are state regulated schedules, that vary over the season. Don't be in the right place at the wrong time. </li>
<li>Wear 'blaze' orange so that you do not
surprise hunters, other hikers, horseback riders, or other recreational users
of the land. This includes your canine pals. You are wearing orange not because a hunter will mistake you for a deer but making it so that other users of the land (hunters, hikers, horseback
riders) are alerted to your presence. </li>
<li>Most properties where hunting is allowed is done so
in an effort to better manage the effect of deer herds on the local region. Over browsing of native flora and automobile accidents are primary reasons for appropriate deer management. Please respect any property closing signs.</li>
<li>If you notice
irregular activity on a property that you hunt, or hike; contact the
landowner or call for assistance from 911 or the SE PA Game Commission
office. <b><br /></b><b> </b><br /><b>Game Law/Poaching Violation in PA</b><br /><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>Call

This past Saturday our 2014 Master Naturalist trainees braved the wet weather and ventured out to the Bucktoe Creek Preserve to learn about stewardship and restoration projects conducted at the site for the final day in their 55-hour training class. The adventurous and enthusiastic group of eight have now completed requirement 1 of 3 in becoming a certified <a href="http://www.pamasternaturalist.org/" target="_blank">Pennsylvania Master Naturalist</a>. This 55-hour training course provides foundation training in natural resources and natural history of the southeastern and coastal plains eco-region here in Chester County. The classes were held once per week at the <a href="http://www.stroudcenter.org/" target="_blank">Stroud Water Research Center,</a> and every other Saturday at the <a href="http://www.bucktoecreekpreserve.org/" target="_blank">Bucktoe Creek Preserve</a>. The topics range from geology and watersheds to botany and wildlife studies. Each topic is led by a professional in their field, and we would like to thank everyone for volunteering their time to help our master naturalist reach their potential.<br />

The next step in becoming a certified master naturalist is the required eight hours of advanced training and thirty hours of service. Service projects are implemented through a partnering organization, and must build upon topics covered during the 55-hour training program. Over the past two years, TLC has partnered with eight master naturalist and we are looking to partner with another four or five again this year. Projects have included, making of a Bucktoe Creek Preserve Arboretum Tree Brochure, installation of a native meadow (currently underway), monitoring of bat boxes at our nature preserve, and the creation of a conservation documentary called, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7dzd33Eu3w" target="_blank">Blank Spot</a>, featuring local conservationist. We look forward to working with another group of naturalist with an unyielding passion for the environment.<br />

This is a great time of year for outdoor nature programs and community events. It is also the mid-point of the Pennsylvania Master Naturalist program! We would like to update you on programs & events you may have missed, and what's coming up this fall and winter.<br />
<br />
It is the time of year where Monarch Butterflies begin their journey south to Mexico for the winter months. Historically during this occurrence monarchs can be seen flying overhead by the hundreds, however, in recent years the population of monarchs is declining. Many factors, some of which include weather extremes (temperature fluctuations & drought) and loss of resources due to new agricultural practices & deforestation, are attributed to the decline in population over the past decade.<br />

This unsettling decline prompted TLC to hold a Monarch Butterfly Walk led by environmental educator, Holly Merker, to highlight these issues and ways that individuals can help their numbers.<br />
Some of the ways individuals can help include planting milkweed and other plants that flower during fall migration and avoiding the use of pesticides. Communities can also play a large role by being cognizant of mowing during migration, avoiding mass use of pesticides and by building community awareness. Thanks to all of the participants who attended in order to learn more about this wondrous insect and ways to make an impact on their population! Here is a great website to learn more on your own (reference): http://www.learner.org/jnorth/monarch/<br />

TLC also finished up the third & final part to our annual Wild Foraging Series on edible plants at Bucktoe Creek Preserve with Lee Peterson, author of the <i>Peterson Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants</i>. Several species were identified, characterized and collected such as lamb's quarters, chicory, garlic mustard and more. The walk ended with an evening of delicious edibles, the favorite being garlic mustard pesto prepared by Lee before the walk. Our Wild Foraging Series will begin again in the spring of 2015 -- stay tuned for details!<br />

The Pennsylvania Master Naturalist program has finished botany and entered into the wildlife studies segment of the 10-week course. Trainees received a plant identification field trip with botanist, Janet Ebert, then searched through rocks and mud for amphibians and reptiles with herpetologist, Kyle Loucks. They also explored the life cycle of honeybees and their importance in pollination with TLC beekeeper, Dan Borkosi of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SunBearApiary" target="_blank">Sun Bear Apiary</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chester-County-Beekeepers-Association-CCBA/359985897792" target="_blank">Chester County Beekeepers Association</a>.<br />

Families, prospective beekeepers or anyone who has donated to the apiary crowd-sourcing or fundraising campaigns this past year are invited to the final Open Hive Day of 2014 on Saturday, October 18th with Dan Borkoski, where he will discuss techniques for closing the hive and we'll also look at the new additions to the apiary. <a href="http://tlcforscc.org/education/education-programs/" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see a full list of programs going on this fall and winter! <br />

Remnants of the last remaining silent auction items waiting for their new owners litter our office and we have had time to sleep off the busy days leading up to our 2014 Hootenanny Hoedown. As things get back to normal, we just wanted to re-cap our hugely successful Hootenanny! We want to say a HUGE thank you to the Hootenanny Committee for all of their hard work to pull off such a wonderful event and to Anne & Michael Moran for all of their support and the use of their beautiful property!<br />

Sadly, the beautiful weather we had been experiencing did not hold and Saturday, September 13 brought a decent amount of rain but the clouds parted at the last possible minute to give our party goers a dry arrival and later a spectacular sunset.<br />

Attendees enjoyed cocktail hour in The Ruins with lasting views of open spaces--the funds raised from our party will help to protect more such views! Dinner from Bixby's Caterers was served as the sun was setting and folks made their way into the tent to explore all of the fun. Blackjack and Craps tables were in full swing as the night progressed and our Marshall was kept busy arresting the party goers who hadn't thought to pre-purchase their "Get Out of Jail" cards. We think he ended up in jail at one point throughout the evening--not sure how that worked out! The dance floor stayed packed with D.J. Frosty's great selection of tunes, and our<a href="http://tlcforscc.org/hootenanny-silent-auction-items/" target="_blank"> silent auction </a>had a few heated bidding wars--the Honda dirt bike and Curious Bunny statue from <a href="http://www.margerytorrey.net/" target="_blank">Margery Torrey Sculptures</a>. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In 1497, the two noble Venetian families of Barone and Fini united
in marriage and began producing wine in northeastern Italy. Archival
notes show they were the wine makers for the Medicis. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Today, the Bonmartini family of Greenville, Delaware-- direct
descendants of the Barone Finis-- continue to manage this venerable property
that lies at the foot of the majestic Dolomite mountains in the Trentino-Alto
Adige region of northern Italy that shoulders up against Austria.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Giovanni Bonmartini-Fini took control of the winery in 1997 after
his uncle Sebastiano passed away. Cultivating grapes in as natural a manner as
possible, the winery specializes in producing just two varietals: Pinot Grigio
and Merlot. All of the fruit for Barone Fini is sourced from old vines, is hand
harvested and subjected to rigorous hand sorting to ensure that only the best
fruit is used.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

Bonmartini-Fini, Giovanni has lived his life with one foot on each side
of the Atlantic Ocean. Born in Massachusetts, his formative years were
spent on his family’s farm on the shores of Lake Garda, attending various
schools in France, Italy, and Belgium. After Francesco's retirement as an
executive with Hercules Corporation,</span><span style="color: #333399; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">he became heavily involved in
the business of the winery. When the family returned to America, Giovanni
graduated from the Tatnall School in Wilmington in 1981. He speaks French,
Italian and English fluently. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Barone-Fini produces a lovely Merlot, but they are especially
known for their distinctive Pinot Grigio Valdadige and Pinot Grigio Alto
Adige. Created from relatively young vines planted about 25-30 years ago,
the wines are created to be medium-bodied, without harsh tannins or high
alcohol content. The vineyard produces 60,000 cases of Pinot Grigio a
year, 100,000 cases overall. Bottles are adorned with the striking
Bonmartini-Fini family crest.</span></div>

<br />
On Thursday, August 14th there was a showing of More Than Honey in The Liberty Room at <a href="http://www.themarketatlibertyplace.com/" target="_blank">The Market at Liberty Place</a>. More Than Honey is a nationally acclaimed film that highlights environmental pressures impacting bee populations across the world. Experienced beekeepers, novice beekeepers, and those just interested in learning more about these pollinators enjoyed their food from The Market vendors as they learned about the important role that honey bees play in the food that we consume. TLC recognizes the importance of honey bees and in addition to education through movies like More Than Honey, we also have hives at <a href="http://tlcforscc.org/preserves/new-leaf-eco-center/" target="_blank">New Leaf Eco Center</a> which are opened up once a month for our Open Hive Days.<br />

We celebrated National Honey Bee Day officially on Saturday, September 16th with an Open Hive Day at the New Leaf Eco Center. This month our beekeeper, Dan Bokoski, focused on ways to remediate mite problems occurring in the hive. The main step that we focused on was figuring out if your hive has a problem that needs to be treated. This is done by calculating the percentage of mites in a hive. Dan's preferred method is the powdered sugar technique, where mites are filtered from a jar of honeybees (~400 honeybees) containing powdered sugar and counted. Dan demonstrated this technique to our sharp-eyed group who were able to spot 20 mites that were filtered from the jar. This number is the indicator for treatment versus no treatment. Dan laid down the light, organic treatment, which should alleviate the mite problem on one of our three hives.<br />
<br />
There are many things to learn as a prospective and experienced beekeeper. TLC's Open Hive Days are a great place for beekeepers to share ideas, and for new beekeepers to learn the ins and outs of installing and managing a hive on their own properties!<br />
<br />
There are two more Open Hive Days left for the 2014 year: Saturday, September 20th and Saturday, October 18th. Both run from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM and are located at New Leaf Eco Center (776 Rosedale Road, Kennett Square, PA 19348).<br />

We ask that you maintain control while walking your dogs on our property, but we do not require leashes, only control. We held our first ever Dog Days of Summer event last evening at Stateline Woods Preserve. The weather was unseasonably cool (Dog Days of Summer adage did not apply) but beautiful none the less for a fun evening. <br />
<br />
Event attendees brought out their <a href="https://app.etapestry.com/cart/TheLandConservancyforSouth_1/default/item.php?ref=347.0.37941327" target="_blank">canine pals</a> to explore our preserve and meet other four-legged friends. After an introduction to TLC and Stateline Woods, attendees learned about the newest dog friendly addition to Stateline Woods Preserve, our dog compost sites. We were very thankful for our good friend and TLC supporter <a href="http://www.delbittle.com/" target="_blank">Del Bittle </a>& <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dels.diesel" target="_blank">Diesel</a> for bringing out the PA system! <br />

<i>You cannot separate the land from its history</i>. Over the month of July, the <a href="http://tlcforscc.org/historic/bucktoe-cemetery/" target="_blank">Bucktoe Cemetery</a> collaboration (TLC, New Garden UAME Church & Heritage Guild Works) held a five-week history program for students of the Chester County Intermediate Unit. The group met once per week; two of the dates included classroom sessions tying together the Bucktoe Cemetery and historical events taught in the curriculum. Students were even able to connect the cemetery to historical events in their country of origin, which included parts of Mexico and other Central & South American countries.<br />

The other two dates included a field trip to the Bucktoe Cemetery. The thirty or so students uncovered parts of the foundation of the old church and even stumbled across a buried headstone with a name partially engraved. Interesting artifacts such as nails, brick and possibly some pieces of pottery were also discovered by the students. This hands on experience was unique for these students and truly brought history to life.

Just across the line from the Bucktoe Cemetery is the <a href="http://www.bucktoecreekpreserve.org/" target="_blank">Bucktoe Creek Preserve</a>, where two summer programs were held last week. <a href="http://ticktockelc.org/" target="_blank">Tick Tock Early Learning Center</a> joined us on Wednesday to explore natural habitats with their students ages 5 - 13 years-old. Students investigated life in the Red Clay Creek and found a variety of different macroinvertebrates. A crayfish and salamander were among the unqiue discoveries! Another group was exploring two ponds on the preserve for frogs, dragonflies and other pond life. The frogs were quick, but kids were equipped with nets, patience and good reflexes! Just upland from the wetland habitats was the birding group. Environmental educator, Holly Merker, led the group through meadows and woodlands of Bucktoe Creek Preserve listening, calling and spotting different species of sparrows, hawks and other birds. Afterwards, we enjoyed lunch underneath a brand new pavilion recently built on the property, which provides perfect shade for a hot, sunny day. The Bucktoe Creek Preserve provided a great location for Tick Tock students to see the change in habitats from upland to wetland. If your class, organization or group is interested in coming to BCP for a day of exploration, please contact Paige at <a href="mailto:education@tlcforscc.org">education@tlcforscc.org</a> or 610-347-0347 x 104.<br />

The second program was a collaborative effort between The Land Conservancy and the <a href="https://www.delawarenaturesociety.org/" target="_blank">Delaware Nature Society</a> on an overnight in nature campout Saturday night into Sunday morning. Six families joined us at the Bucktoe Creek Preserve for the camping experience. Saturday night we hiked the preserve to familiarize the group to common plants (good and bad ones!) and wildlife species found on the preserve. After roasting marshmallows and enjoying one too many s'mores, we walked down to the woodlands to call for owls. A timid eastern screech owl called back for a few minutes. Luckily he/she was loud enough to hear over the sound of several green frogs croaking in the adjacent pond. The next morning after breakfast was served, we finished up with a hike to the Red Clay Creek checking out life in the creek. We spotted a great blue heron, which was not alarmed by our group of 20 or so. Thanks to all of the participants for a great weekend evening together and we hope to have you join us for another campout next summer!<br />

The group was led by Maureen McCadden, Longwood's Digital Resource Specialist, and Judy Stevenson, Archivist. We were led through the Conservatory, stopping to take a look at the beautiful waterlily display currently in bloom. In the library, we got to look through an extensive collection of historic and rare books on horticulture and botany, some of which came from Pierre S. du Pont's own private collection. We had the chance to look through the same books that most likely inspired the design of the gardens when Mr. du Pont first began cultivating them in the early 1900s. <br />

After checking out the library, which many students use each day, we moved on to Longwood's archives. On the way, we passed part of the network of tunnels that run underneath the gardens, designed by Mr. du Pont for more effective maintenance and watering. Once in the archives, we got a look at some of the hundreds of thousands of images in Longwood's possession, which are currently being added to a digital database. We even got to travel through the vault, which houses rare books from Mr. du Pont's collection, blueprints, property maps, recordings, and over 300,000 slides.<br />
<br />
TLC's tour highlighted Longwood's immense value as a historic and educational resource, as well as the innovative methods used to manage their unique and expansive collections. After the tour, participants took advantage of the beautiful weather to explore the gardens, now with a new perspective and appreciation for what goes on behind the scenes. <br />
