The pin is that way over there, in those trees, we hope….
It looks dry (except that is all cat tail and sedge, which is ample warning)
Well maybe it is in the next set of trees? We’ll be taking the long way for this one!
It certainly is pretty! One would never guess that these were taken in a fairly densely settled town. While a largely natural, beaver built marsh; the deep ponds of water between fingers of land at the upper (supposedly narrow, stream channel end) came as a surprise. (The official wetland map is all wet); I think they were created by quarrying for clay by some industrious person. If we can keep the Phragmite Reeds* at bay, this property will stay this way, which is nice. And due, entirely, to the generous decision of one man and a local land trust.
*Those would be those marsh reeds you see Everywhere. They aren’t native. They are at the downstream end of this property unfortunately, which means they will be a problem for the land trust. You can see them on the right of the photograph here. (we gave up on this line)
