A Little Trail Work

It’s late spring now and the ferns and other perennial plants in the woods are nearly full grown. So the trail that Bennet and I would take is now overgrown with ferns and other things. One plant I was worried might be poison ivy but it’s wild sasperilla. 

The only section that really needs work this year is a section that hasn’t traditionally been a path.  I pulled up ferns and sasperilla and cut down a couple Norway maple saplings and a dogwood.  I also raked leaves and moved some branches.  I still need to cut a path in that log though.

It's lovely to see this beautiful striped jack-in-the-pulpit.
