Upland Forest Upland Forest “The Whistlin’ Highlanders”

Lookout Point

Woodpecker Hole: As you walk the Hire’s trail, keep your eyes open and you will encounter a rather unusual White Pine. It contains a large rectangular hole about 4 by 8 inches and about 8 feet above the ground, complements of a hungry Pileated Woodpecker.

Intersection of Hires and Brook Trails: As you approach the intersection of the Hire’s and Brook trails, note that the two trails lead to two distinctly different types of forest. The Brook Trail enters a primarily coniferous region, while the Hires Trail leads to a mainly deciduous region. The coniferous region has a heavier canopy cover, which means that the deciduous region is better-lit and more conducive heavy ground foliage growth.

Flowers

The Lower Brook Trail: After crossing the road, you will enter a section of forest, which has no dominant tree type. These trees aren’t primarily coniferous or deciduous, but rather a mix of the two. The main trees you will encounter are Maple (both sugar and red), Aspen, Hemlock, Birch, and Ash. As you near the end of the trail you will be met by a grove of beautiful hemlocks, which provide perfect shade for a snack by the river.

Lower Brook Trail

Working with Rocks

This gully was cut through the land by the brook An abandoned streambed and a waterfall along the Brook trail

Rocks in the brook and Laura standing by a tree A curved tree shows that the land is moving and the tree is curving to keep up with it

If you hear some bird calls, it could be any one of these birds: American Crow - Great Blue Heron Hermit Thrush - Red-Shouldered Hawk Black-Capped Chickadee - Northern Shrike Red-winged Blackbird - Tufted Titmouse Common Raven - Canada Warbler Mourning Dove - Bohemian Waxwing and many, many more…………..

Make sure you don’t step on these amphibians: Mud puppy Salamander Newt American toad Frogs (Green/Wood/Pickerel)

As you are walking along the trail, take notice of these various mammals: Deer Mice Squirrels (Grey/Red) Chipmunks Beavers Raccoons Skunks

We did a Biotic Index and found out that our brook is an exact 2.0! The indicates that our Brook is very healthy! Biotic Index Range No Impairment Moderate Impairment > 6.5 Severe Impairment

MUSHROOMS

As you continue walking, take notice of the various fungi located alongside the trail…..
