Day 13.234: Alewive Woods Preserve

As Exile #2 mentioned, we had a short trail walk yesterday afternoon. Another new-to-us local spot - Alewive Woods Preserve.

The trail started out fairly uneventfully, but soon gave way to a very unusual-looking woodland - with lots of tall but relatively young trees - all very straight and orderly. We speculated that perhaps it was regrowth after a fire and we were right - apparently these red pines were planted after a fire in 1947.


The far end of the preserve has nice views of Alewive Pond. I'll tell you about our few wildlife sightings tomorrow.
