At press time...

Chestnut Mountain UpdateThe Buck Hill Conservation Foundation is very pleased and proud to announce

that its very ambitious drive to raise funds to purchase Chestnut Mountain hasreached its goal of $750,000.

Thanks to the generous support of its members and friends of Buck Hill, andthanks to a grant from Monroe County for $300,000 we were able to raise the $1.3million dollars required for the purchase of 478 acres of land. The County grantwas largely made possible by the conveyance of a matching conservation easementon the adjacent 400-acre Spruce Mountain by the Buck Hill Falls Company. Wewish to thank the Directors and the Shareholders for helping to make this acquisi-tion possible.

As we go to print, the required due-diligence has been performed and a surveyis being completed. It is our expectation that closing on the property will occurmid-May. There will be much to do after the acquisition is completed including acomprehensive forest management plan and the re-creation of the trail network.

As everyone can appreciate, our reserves have been depleted and anyone whohave not as yet made a contribution towards this effort is encouraged to do so.There is still time to be recognized as a participant in this historical achievementby the Foundation and the Buck Hill community.

Checks can be mailed to “The Buck Hill Falls Conservation Foundation” atP.O. Box 350, Buck Hill Falls PA 18323.

Buck Hill Falls QR CodeIf you happened to notice this odd looking square on the front page

of The Breeze, you might be wondering what it is. It is a “QR Code.”QR Code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark fora type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) first designed forthe automotive industry. More recently, the system has become popular outside theindustry due to its fast readability and large storage capacity compared to standard UPCbarcodes.

The code consists of black modules (square dots) arranged in a square pattern on awhite background. The information encoded can be made up of four standardized kinds(“modes”) of data (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, Kanji), or through supportedextensions, virtually any kind of data. (Wikipedia).

The Buck Hill Falls Company will be using the QR Code on its publications. Thecode itself directs the scanners to www.BuckHillFalls.com. This is a great way to spreadthe word about Buck Hill Falls and drive traffic to the new website.

BUCK HILL BIRDER

By Frank MayBy now most of you have learned of the Conservation Foundation’s successful

acquisition of Chestnut Mountain, which was scheduled to close sometime in May.Congratulations to everyone involved in this almost fifteen-year effort and a specialthanks to all of you whose financial generosity made it possible.

While this high-profile endeavor was under way, the Barrett Township Open SpaceCommittee was quietly pursuing another vital piece of the’“green crescent” that formsthe northern boundary of our community. Now known as the Mt. Wismer Preserve, this94-acre tract was purchased as an addition to the Gravel Family Preserve, which itadjoins and that had been acquired by the Township several years ago.

With access off of Route 447, the property forms a vital link in the open spacenetwork that runs from the game lands west of Route 191, through Buck Hill to SpruceLake Retreat past Route 447 to Skytop. Wismer Mountain provides spectacular views ofGravel Pond below to the Water Gap and Kittatiny Ridge beyond.

Some of my readers will remember a series of articles that Darryl Speicher and I didback in 2005 retracing the tracks of Cornelius Weygandt that were relayed in his historicBirds of Buck Hill published in 1906. Cornelius told of his wanderings “under Wismer”in the vicinity of Dutch Hill Road and Gravel Road. It was around there that he reportedtwo of his more interesting sightings, which we were not able to replicate, the “migrant”or Loggerhead Shrike and Dickcissels.

We very infrequently have a chance to see Northern Shrikes in the winter, but, to myknowledge, there hasn’t been a report of a Loggerhead Shrike anywhere in the vicinity inmany years. Dickcissels are sparrow-like birds of the prairie and open-farm country.They are not uncommon in southern New Jersey and western Pennsylvania but neitherDarryl nor I have ever seen one locally. The protection of Mt. Wismer will provide thepublic with many birding and hiking opportunities for years to come. With climatechange, who knows what new species we may encounter in the future.

Ironically and appropriately, the Mt. Wismer property was once part of Buck Hillhaving been acquired from the State in 1904 and subsequently sold. The acquisition wasmade possible by the combination of Barrett Township Open Space funds, matchinggrants from Monroe County and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation andNatural Resources and contributions from the Weiler Family Trust, the ConcernedCitizens of Barrett Township and the Foundation. This combined undertaking is a greatexample of government working with private interests to realize a goal that will accrue tothe public benefit.

• A current Buck Hill Falls fishing permit is required for ALL individuals (adultsand children) fishing on Buck Hill Falls Company property. Fishing permits areavailable at the Company office. If you are a resident of the Buck Hill Fallscommunity there is no charge for the fishing permit.

Any violation of the above rules and regulations mayresult in suspension of all fishing privileges. Fishing without a valid Buck HillFalls Fishing Permit, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Fishing License or TroutStamp will result in possible prosecution.

Fishing Rules and RegulationsBuck Hill is fortunate to have two high-quality fishing streams, Buck Hill Creek and

Griscom Run. The Buck Hill Falls Company, in cooperation with the Fishing Committeeof the Lot & Cot Owners Association, continues to work hard to restore and improve thestreams and the natural propagation of Brook and Brown Trout. If you want to try yourhand at fishing, please read the following rules by which you must abide:

NewsConservation FoundationOn May 3rd through May 5th, The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association, an organi-

zation composed of some eighty conservation organizations, held its tenth annualmeeting at nearby Pocono Manor. The Conservation Foundation was pleased to be one ofthe sponsoring members of this year’s conference and hosted a hiking tour of Red Rocks,Jenkins Woods and the Falls. Some twenty enthusiastic hikers marveled at the naturalbeauty of Buck Hill and applauded our efforts to preserve it.

The hike was followed by a luncheon served at the Tennis Tea. Candi and her crewdid their usual great job with the catering. Thank you to Mike O’Shea and Jack Trapanifor their help in facilitating the transportation.

Before returning to Pocono Manor, the guests were given a driving tour of Buck Hillresidences and amenities. Everyone was impressed.

Nature Hike On Chestnut MountainPrepared by Fred Ruben on behalf of the Buck Hill Conservation Foundation

On a sunny Saturday in early April our Conservation Foundation sponsored a hike,led by naturalist Rick Koval, through a trail on Chestnut Mountain. Twenty Buck Hillers,including Jock Miller, Frank May, and Tom Widing, enjoyed hiking two or three miles inthis forest. Some highlights identified by Rick show just how worthwhile it is for a hikerto enjoy this splendid environment. Trees were in the earliest state of emerging fromwinter. Beech trees, large and small, were dominant, some with beech nuts still uneatenby animals, and some with beech “drops” or small stick plants found only at the base ofthe beech trees. Ironwood, yellow birch, and black cherry were among the other treesidentified for us. We saw the occasional giant black cherry tree that escaped the timbercutting, but we also saw areas that had been clear cut. There were old grape vines thatclimbed to great heights and, in summer, provide cover for owls and food for birds. In anopen space there was Common Mullein, dried up for winter but up to six feet tall. Duringthe summer Mullein resembles tobacco plants.

Among the shrubs were Spirea, Multifloral Rose, Moosewood, and patches ofBarberry. Out of the ground grew Princess Pines, green Christmas ferns, Garlic Mustard,and Common Blue violets. Red Berry Elder was seen growing between rock cracks. Onthe ground waslovely TurkeyTail lichen andStag horn Clubmoss. Thelatter, inseason,producesspores that canexplode whenignited and, inthe remotepast, were usedfor flashphotography!One area, evenwith thecurrent dryperiod, hadstanding water.Rick demon-strated in this vernal pool the egg mass of the Spotted Salamander lying amid “sala-mander algae”. In the coming weeks tiny salamander tadpoles will emerge.

There was the log foundation of a trapper shack, once used by Jock Miller and hisfriends. The shack was more akin to a lean-to. Jock said it once had bunk beds. He alsoshowed where a hammock had hung between two trees.

We heard the Morse code sounds of a Sapsucker bird, and near a ridge we saw hawksand a vulture soaring as they looked for food below. On the trail were fresh turkeyfeathers, all remnants of a meal likely enjoyed by a resident coyote. Further on the trail

were coyotedroppingsincluding somebone remnants. Re-acquiringChestnut Moun-tain has been alabor of love forBuck Hillers likeFrank May. Wewill learn moreabout this forestin the comingyears.

Obituaries

Curt BettsWith deepest regrets we inform you about the untimely passing of William Curtis

Betts, better known as Curt Betts, son of Rosemary Betts. Curt Betts passed away onApril 21, 2012 at the age of 58. He will be missed by family and friends.

James Henry Wilkes James Henry Wilkes, 95, of Gladwyne and formerly of BuckHill Falls, passed away on December 2, 2011. He was the widowerof Janet Elsroad Wilkes, to whom he was married for 60 years andwho died in 1998. He is survived by his two sons, James S. and his wife Bonnie,of Devon, Scott B. and his wife Barbara, of Bethlehem, hisdaughter, Susan W. and her husband Henry Walker of Lititz and

Buck Hill Falls, eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.Born January 5, 1916 in Philadelphia, he graduated from Upper Darby High School,

Phillips Exeter Academy and Princeton University. His business career was spententirely in the milk and dairy industry. His first employment was with the Turner &Wescott Company of Philadelphia in 1939, and he retired in 1979 as National Directorof Marketing for the Sealtest Division of National Dairy Products Corp (now PhillipMorris Food Division).

He and his family lived in Wayne, PA for 50 years and have enjoyed their Buck HillCottage #54 for over four decades. He had extensive community involvement asPresident of the Tri-County Health & Welfare Council of Philadelphia, member of theExecutive Committee of the Philadelphia United Fund, Advisory Council to thePhiladelphia Commission on Human Relations, and Mayoral Committee on Tuberculo-sis. He served on the Session and as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of WaynePresbyterian Church and was a member of the Merion Cricket Club and Union Leagueof Philadelphia. He resided at Waverly Heights in Gladwyne for the last 11 years.

He especially loved his years at Buck Hill with wonderful friends, golf, tennis, andas President of Lot & Cot Association. He claimed the laughter of four generations offamily gathered around the Buck Hill dinner table kept him young.

Parking on Buck Hill RoadsMost of the Buck Hill roads in the upper and lower

“original community area” are extremely narrow. Manycottage owners have grown accustomed to parking onCompany roads rather than in their own driveway. This isespecially true during the late spring, summer, and earlyfall. What cottage owners may not realize is that by doingso they are creating a very serious safety hazard. With ourroads being narrow, it is very difficult for a standard-sizeautomobile to pass by a vehicle parked on the road andabsolutely impossible for a fire truck or other emergencyvehicle to pass by the parked vehicle.

The Buck Hill Falls Company requests that no one parkon Buck Hill roads. If it is absolutely necessary for acottage owner and/or their guests to park along a Buck Hillroad, they must make sure they have pulled completely offthe paved portion of the roadway.

Children at PlayWith the arrival of more cottagers and Camp Club

starting on June 25th, the entrance to Camp Club will beone way from 8:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to3:45 p.m., with the entrance on Rabbit Run Road and exitonto Golf Drive. This allows children to get out of and intothe car on the passenger side and reduces the possibility of achild being hit by a passing vehicle.
