Bedford Reservation: Sagamore Creek Walk
"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." Lao Tzu
Bedford Reservation: Sagamore Creek bioObservation Survey
We had a wonderful time on the Wednesday evening of 16 April 2014 identifying and photographing various plants along the Linda Falls trail. Our path led us through a woodland, along the edge of a ravine, and into a floodplain populated by wildflowers in differing stages of emergence. Along the way we passed a white oak tree and were told that shed skins of black rat snakes have been observed in the branches. None were observed on our evening walk.
Nature is a wonderful teacher.

Bradley Woods Walk
Bradley Woods bioObservation Survey
What a fabulous time we had on a lovely Saturday afternoon of September 7th, 2013 walking through parts of Bradley Woods and learning about this gem of a reservation. Many thanks and appreciation to our hosts from Cleveland Metroparks, Wendy Weirich, Bethany Majeski, and Valerie Fetzer for sharing their time, knowledge, and enthusiasm which makes learning fun! While not a complete list of all observed or heard during our walk, the bioObservation survey does illuminate the diversity that can be found in nature in the space and time of a couple of hours. Experiencing the beauty of nature with all of you was a joy!
