Ricardo Mattano (Guard-room volunteer) visited the shores of river. The day was calm, there was no particular incident, and handed out some brochures of standards of conduct. That day also Sebastian, community ranger made his usual route.
Saturday 9 April - Argentine Ecosystem output
was a beautiful day out and work . We were more than 35 people, and we left at 9 pm on Bridge Cuesta Blanca, where there is a signpost of pathway "clump Serrano" (see first photo). We did the tour of the path by reading signs and noting the species of plants and birds that abound on the road. We had lunch at the end of the path, and then went to the sector 1 Cuesta Blanca Reserve to enhance the planting done with kindergarten Icho Cruz last year. Also can some grateus which are very large, and cut some other exotic species that are near a river. Came to Channel 12 to film our work!
Sunday 10 April - Tours
The day was very pleasant, however the number of visitors was low. Fernando Barrios made the trip. Found about 8 to 10 families in the area of \u200b\u200bthe grill, taking either directions, and a couple of families to the riverside picnicking, who pledged to leave everything clean. Found very little trash, reflecting in part the passage of witnessing the activity Argentinos Ecosystem previous day. Fernando highlights the large amount of wildlife that exists in Cuesta Blanca (foxes, iguanas, guinea pigs, as well as birds), with whom they can live in harmony if they do not bother and pets to avoid the attack.
Monday 11 April - Tents and fire
That Monday night the smell of smoke of fire drew our attention to Daniel and me. We went to look around and find a group of about 10 people firing and camping on the beach of the Whale. We talked to them, who agreed to put out the fires (there were on two different fires) but not to go. Firefighters were also later, and the police. The latter was only found that everything was calm but apparently not down to the beach for visitors to ask them to go to camping enabled. The visitors remained in place, in absolute peace and quiet. The next morning, and ignoring the warnings, the fire rekindled. Fortunately the community ranger came by and made them shut down. Later, he was the police, to warn that had to disassemble the tents as a sector was not enabled, and also by the growing danger. Before this latest announcement, the group withdrew.
News
Path of interpretation "clump Serrano
is almost finished, lacking only place two posters. You can go there, despite the fire is very nice. The trees are sprouting and there are many herbs, grasses, birds, butterflies and bugs. If you do not know how to get there, they should go to the bridge, watch carefully the signpost and follow the yellow arrows. They will not regret the ride. The trail is the result of an agreement between the Municipality of Cuesta Blanca, Argentine ecosystems, and the Federation of Travelers.
Arrochar that should not be
me Several neighbors have expressed concern about mysterious gullies that come from different homes or facilities that there were no heavy rains to prove it. Sometimes the water is emptying pools, sometimes overflowing sewage systems. These waters should not return to the river in the form of streams on the land surface. Pictured is an example of one of these streams.
