Beavers on Ivy Creek

There is a nice trail along Ivy Creek, at the end of my street.  This trail was made a number of years ago for the Combined Sewer Overflow project in Lynchburg, and is kept clear year-round.  At least once a week I take my dog Zulan on it, and I love finding out what's going on in Nature.

In the last few months I've started seeing beaver activity along the creek.  So far this just entails felled trees and gnaw marks on still standing trees:

Lynchburg NORML is born!

Today I created a new Facebook group called Lynchburg NORML.  You can find it here.

This group is dedicated to raising awareness, organizing political pressure, and serving as an information source for cannabis and marijuana issues.

In time I hope to incorporate this organization as a nonprofit here in Lynchburg, Virginia.
