Transcript: The stumps were meant for kids to jump around on and the old ones were rotting so they had to go. Jess Doug is the sanctuary's director. A Summer in Nature Volunteering There were some other jobs I did since I was available pretty much 24/7. We knew that we would never get all of it. It's expected that it will come back again next year and we will just have to take care of it all over again. Until October Doug Related to wild grapes, porcelain berry gets berries in the fall, which go anywhere from blue to white to pink. It has broad, grape-shaped leaves. Like bittersweet, (and most of the invasives we removed), the most we could do was cut back what was there to help the native vegetation. [Photograph found in Mass Audubon Stony Brook, Norfolk, MA].

Stony Brook is one of the Massachusetts Audubon Society's wildlife sanctuaries We didn't know what this little guy was. At first I had misidentified it as a centipede or other myriapod because I saw the segments and thought I saw a lot of legs. Then the next time we went out, I brought a bug jar and caught it. Anna and I brought it to Doug and he couldn't identify it completely either, though he knew it was some sort of beetle larvae. I remained a mystery.

Retrieved from http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/oriental_bittersweet_an_aggressive_invasive_plant (Originally photographed 2015, November 13) One example is when we found a cicada killer (which we had misidentified as a mud wasp). Doug told us about it, about how its pretty non aggressive towards humans, since it really only cares about getting cicadas. It doesn't even eat the cicada, because there isn't much of a cicada to eat. Instead they inject it with neurotoxin and paralyze it, drag it down into its hole, lay eggs in it and the hatched larvae will eat it. Nature is beautiful About Stony Brook. (n.d.).

They can be very quick to dash under leaf litter, we had to be fast if we wanted to get a good picture. Usually they can be found curled up in a little circle and are generally adorable. The Staff (Matt is on the left) One thing that set multiflora rose apart from bittersweet and porcelain berry is that it was physically hard to deal with. It was covered in thorns. It's very difficult to deal with if you're not wearing gloves. I would get thorns lodged in my pants from just walking in and around the stuff. Red-backed salamanders Removal Incidentally my mom's regular rose bush somehow got transformed into a multiflora rose through some cross-pollination plant witchery She's bright and friendly. She makes it easy to open up (and this is coming from someone who is a constant ball of anxiety) Works Cited Allison Tardif Matt Salamanders are an indicator species, meaning that they're more sensitive to changes in the environment. So if an indicator species starts to decline, it means there's something going on in its environment. Its similar to how miners would bring canaries into mine shafts to indicate any toxic gases forming. If the canary dies, its time to get out. Miller, J. H. (n.d.).
