How lush June has made the woods. The last of the spring flowers have seeded and fallen back. Now we see the summer blooms - the grasses, sedges, rushes, and prairie flowers reaching high.
A new trail has been cut through the woods at Barnes Preserve. Twisting and winding through old trees, young trees, and over many damp spots - where the sedges grow abundant. With boots and bug spray I highly recommend exploring this new section - long pants should also be a given, poison ivy is abundant. It may be hot and muggy out but don't let that stop you. Pack a water, walk slowly, and embrace this season as it only comes around once a year!
