We recently bought a copy of Looping Through Sydenham, a collection of 25 local day hikes. Yesterday we did #9, a ferny mossy loop through trilliums and crevices. We got rained on, but it wasn’t overly cold. Coffee and cookies back at the car made it all better :)
Recently I’ve been fascinated by the book Ontario’s Old-Growth Forests: A Guidebook Complete with History, Ecology and Maps by Michael Henry and Peter Quinby. I think Eric is getting tired of my mini “lectures” about tree species every morning at breakfast (and every other chance I get). Anyway, here’s my list of some of the forests I want to visit, with any luck, starting this summer:
