Phragmites Dirty Secrets

Last weekend we made a trip out to East Marion to do a pre-spring checkup on our cottage and to survey the land that had been reclaimed from the Phragmites.

We were stunned to see hundreds of bottles and trash strewn across the shoreline that once had been hidden by 8 feet tall reeds.

After more than an hour we had collected as many bottles as our Mini Cooper could hold and headed to the dump. I'm sure there are dozens more hiding out there, but that will have to wait for another weekend.
