Reclearing the paths

It has been pretty quiet lately. I have started to clear the paths that have been neglected over the past year or so. Quite a few weeds, mostly Natal grass and sansspurs and some dog fennel have grown into them. I need to keep them clear for future projects.

Instead of bagging everything, which is impractical given the volume, I have decided to simply start a few weed dumps in areas where the weeds have already taken over anyway so there will be no further harm done.

I have heard nothing further on plans to burn the remaining piles or to run fire through the preserve afterward. I suspect that may have something to do with budgetary constraints, but I don't know.
