--047d7b3a8314bb2fd80504b24b3f Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi all, I was at Blomidon yesterday and hiked Jodrey/Woodland Trail. It was pretty quiet in terms of wildlife. Observations of note included singing spring peepers, on the woodland trail near the bridge. I had two questions: A. I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to the stand of forest that the Jodrey trail cuts along near the bottom of the large grassy field, south of the office. The forest type changes from the beech/maple forest to a scrubby mix of alder and raspberry with a few scattered birch. For interests sake does anyone know what caused the disturbance? I am thinking spruce beetle, or maybe a wind storm. If anyone could shed some light on this it'd be greatly appreciated. B. The fall colours were less remarkable than I would have expected. Keeping in mind it's early for the heavy colours, I would have expected more. Much of the maples on the southern slope of the Jodrey trail showed signs of browning, likely from PTS Arthur. How will this damage affect anthocyanin production? Thank you, IM --047d7b3a8314bb2fd80504b24b3f Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I was at Blomidon yesterday and= hiked Jodrey/Woodland Trail.
