BUCKINGHAM POND PARK NEWS 4/17/09

The Buckingham Pond Conservancy park
clean up . Saturday 4/18 is not sponsored
by the Buckingham Pond/Crestwood NA.

We do not sponsor such clean ups because of
liability issues, should someone get injured
of infected by with Lyme Disease which can
result from ticks numerous in the pond park
area. Newborn ticks, appearing now, carry
Lyme. Accordingly, the BPCNA is not a sponsor
or participant in the 4/18 pond park clean up
and, therefore, not liable in any way.

The Buckingham Pond Conservancy is a
newly formed group not affiliated with or
working through BPCNA.

OTHER NEWS

There is a vandalized small tree located on
Rafts Way, S side of pond, between Colonial
and Milner.

I replanted the exposed root, but left the
root still in the ground, undisturbed because
the tree is budding. I propped the tree up
but it still has a lean to it. The tree should be
left alone until the Fall when it becomes
dormant. It can be replanted then.

Very reasonable tree and shrub stock will
be available tomorrow from 9 am to Noon
at the Albany County SWCD sale, Martin
Rd, Voorheesville. Other options include
the Schenectady and Renssselaer County
SWCD tree/shrub sales. See earlier posts.
