“The best-laid schemes of mice an’ men / Gang aft a-gley.” Robert Burns, the Scottish bard, was wrote that famous line in his poem entitles “To a Mouse.” But, he might just as well have entitled it To the Randolph Forest Commission. The Coronvirus wins.
With real regret the Commission has concluded that the wise course is to postpone the program planned for this year’s Forest Day until next year. David Forsyth, the Town’s leading bird enthusiast (he modestly refuses the title of ornithologist) will put some of his recent findings about the birds and bees of Randolph (with photos) on the Forest website. We hope to be able to enjoy his presentation in the Town Hall in 2021.
Meanwhile, if anyone has questions or comments about the management of the Forest during the last year, please feel free to address them to the Forest Commission at the Town Hall either in writing or by e-mail (selectmen@randolph.nh.gov attn. Forest Commission.)
