13 Sept 2021 He-Man Work at the Falaise

 Roger, David and Malcolm met for the first He-Man Work day at the Falaise.  After doing such sissy things as filling the bird feeders, we spent our time clearing downed trees off the paths and gathering stray car tires for removal.

Imagine Monkland

Image
  Sauvons la Falaise was present all four days of the Imagine Monkland street festival.  Friday evening was especially interesting as head-lamps were suspended to from the kiosk roof to illuminate the large scale plans, the 1:250 model of the Dalle Parc eco bridge, and different explanatory documents. As night fell the lit kiosk was an attraction to street festival walkers.  There were many lively discussions, especially about the long wait by local citizens for the Dalle Parc which had been promised them in compensation to the years of lost urban life during the Turcot interchange rebuilding for the suburbs. Saturday was the highlight of the event because of the fantastic weather and great turn-out.  Sauvons la Falaise was joined by its Invasives/ Native Wildflowers committees that day.  They too had many interesting conversations with citizens about the challenges indigenous flora have.

Alma Auto Tyre Collection

Image
It was  a beautiful April Spring day in the Woods, and five Falaisians set out to remove new garbage that was dumped over the Winter below Alma Auto.   Heading east from the Valley of the Birds, we replaced a bird feeder that that had fallen near the Growth Art Installation. Soon we were at the new garbage area that had been thoroughly cleaned last fall.     First, we sought the recently discovered special  gem of the Falaise, a massive truck tyre that had been dumped over the winter. ( See the discovery photos 31 March 2022 ) Unfortunately, the tyre ran away from us downhill.  Oh well, we can pick it up along the Bande Verte later.  After that we collected some misc garbage, and about a dozen car tyres along the Eastern Trail as well as lower down near the Bande Verte.
