Kosbab Slough Protector Removal
March 11, 2012 (cont.)
Most of the protectors had one or two bamboo stakes with them.  They were originally put on the newly planted trees to keep varmints from eating them.  From the number of trees growing well, it sure looks like they worked!

The bags got heavier and heavier ..... the crew worked for four hours.  Nobody knows how many we picked off.  There are quite a few left still!

You find a row and just work from one end to the other - and then start over!
That's one!
Must have filled a couple dozen BIG bags with them.
The looooong walk back to the cars.
For those who missed the fun, fear not.  We saved plenty and there will be another opportunity soon.
