A Local Farm

Today we traveled back to Holbrook to visit a farm that has an environmentally friendly planted area to help restore some natural area in the countryside. There is a sort-of consortium that is partially funded by the government to help restore places in farms to be more wildlife friendly. They see it as a way to be environmentally friendly and not hurt the farm’s earning power. Some local scientists were there tagging and documenting some local birds, and that is the picture I have below. Later that day we had lunch in town and then we had the evening to ourselves. I wondered about the town and then went to see The Da Vinci Code with several Fulbrighters. Myself and two others are booking a car tomorrow to drive to local skiing slopes to have a look and maybe do some skiing. It should be an adventure with the driving on the wrong side of the road and all….
