!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

We will see the same areas that we walked through in the spring, but the area  will be dressed in different colors this time!  Discussion will revolve around management issues practiced over the last several years.

* deer exclosures in 2 different stages of growth

* extensive control of invasive species

* timing of mowing of fields

* tree harvesting done several years ago

* walk up to top of ridge to see new managed pitch pine plantation

This will be a walk of about two hours, pretty easy on woods roads, with some hilly spots. Lovely views.

No dogs please, older children welcome.
