04.11.2022 Promise you’ll never let me go

Posted on April 11, 2022 by Steve Gingold

Hemlock and Black Birch seem very compatible in these woods near Dean Brook. I’ve seen them joined like this in other spots nearby. As more is learned about the ecology of forests and soil in general it is becoming more … Continue reading →
