Spring!

April 12, 2018 By dave

Spring!

It is spring! (Finally!!!) Time to hit the ACLT trails to enjoy the spring flowers. Last Sunday was a beautiful day – crisp and sunny.  The trails were awash with a scintillating display of early spring wildflowers – especially the Horse Swamp trail.

Nothing out of the ordinary but how invigorating to be out in a restful setting with the freshness of a new year. The liriodendrons were turning green, the maple trees with their red buds were clearly discernable, and the frogs were singing. Beautiful.

Hunting Season in the Parkers Creek Watershed 2017-18
