    My grandfather was one of the main creators of this reserve. He was a nature guide and brought the plants, or many of them, that began the reserve. There is a tree dedicated to him. He also kept bees, caught copperheads and rattlesnakes for use in making anti venom, and helped weekend hunters from the city get their animals. Thanks for highlighting this beautiful place. Love your videos.

      I had a great aunt who was involved in the creation of the reserve! Beautiful place, yet I haven’t been there in years.

    The April full moon is named the Pink Moon because of the Pink phlox.
    Showed another phlox. The colors of both were so vivid.
    If someone one told me catus were native to PA, I would not have believed.
    When I saw this was a 50 minute long. I thought I can only do 10 minutes at a time. I enjoyed every minute of it. Looks like I got squatter rights on that cabin.

    The yellow trilliums are trillium luteum. Lucky you!!😊 There are "painted trilliums" that have beautiful red markings on the inside of the petals that also are native to PA, but I believe more in the northern part of the state. Worth going up there to look for!. That first red trillium you found is trillium sesslile, not trillium erectum, which is not sessile (has a stem on the flower) and has a flower form more like the white grandiflorums. But their colors are the same. Oh! White shooting stars! Wonderful finds!! the dutchmans britches have pointy white flowers-squirrel corn looks like them-same family but have rounded points. You often see them in the same area, but they are different. Thank you for the walk!

    B!uebells volunteered one year in my flower garden. I had no idea they were wild flowers. I'm currently benched due to health issues but I went outside and my overgrown yard was full of color from wild flowers. The best medicine in the world!

    A swath of bluebells is so magical. Loved all the flowers, the plants, the bridge and the cabin. Thanks so much for sharing the beauty!
    This preserve is well worth the twelve dollar entrance fee. Even for some one on a very tight budget.

    I've really been enjoying your relaxing videos. Few things:
    You'd love the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL, in the Chgo suburbs. Have you ever thought about doing El Camino de Santiago in Spain? You're a great walker! And, do you ever forage for ramps? Thanks!

    At 45:50 were they a form of bleeding hearts? When we went to WA many years ago, my husband showed me bleeding hearts, and those flowers reminded me of them.

    When you were in that hollow tree,it would have made an adorable picture. Im surprised you didn't take one. I have 1 complaint. When you were at that pavilion on the Audubon trail,there were a few signs. I know you cant stop and read all of them,but you could've shown them or say what they were about. Im guessing it was about what birds could be seen. Now that I think about it, I didn't hear any birds. Did I miss something? This was a beautiful place and wish I could've been there. Stay safe.❤❤❤
