Time Trails

On 100 acres land a few kilometres to the south of town a local millionaire has bought a piece of natural habitat and made it available for the public to visit and enjoy.
Signs near the entrance to the trail system describe some of the wildlife that may be seen in the woodland.

A number of trails weave past hidden ponds, hills, and past trees over one hundred years old like this yellow birch.
The leaves along the forest floor constantly change in texture . . .
. . . according to the type of trees overhead.
And the trees and branches now stand naked before an approaching winter .
With each passing the week, visitors experience the season’s continuing change – always starting and always ending in the great cycle of time.
