Dear Friends,
You did it! Thanks to your generousity, a new wildlife viewing blind will be built this year in the South Meadow, at the edge of the new seasonal wetland created by Friends of Buford Park. It will be a wonderful place for families to enjoy observing nature close up, and a great opportunity for birders, photographers, or anyone to get a more initmate experience of this special habitat and the creatures who call it home.
Many thanks to all the FBP members who contributed online and at the Annual Meeting. A special thanks goes to Peter and Deborah Noble, whose company, Cypress International, contributed lumber to build the frame of the wildlife blind. The lumber donated by Cypress International is milled from certified sustainably harvested Alaska Yellow Cedar. This wood has exceptional qualities of beauty, strength, and resilience helping to insure the new structure will be an aesthetically pleasing, safe, and durable asset to Buford Park.
There are still opportunities to help build the blind. Look for upcoming workparties where we'll be gathering and shaping willow for the screen panels. We'd love to have your help. And we'll let you know when we're ready to celebrate the "grand opening".
Thanks so much for helping to make Mt. Pisgah an even better place where people and nature thrive together.
Val Rogers
Development Director, Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah
