"Into the Woods"-IGC Nature Walk- April 16th

Thanks to Scott Santino who provided us Saturday morning with a enlightening walk in the wilds of the Audubon Ipswich River Sanctuary.We enjoyed learning about and seeing nature "waking up" to a new season of life. We witnessed spotted salamander and frog eggs getting ready to hatch in a vernal pool, a unique spring habitat; walked up eskers and drumlins; and investigated "deer exclosures" and "beaver deceivers". We also observed the girdling nature of bittersweet on trees.Thank you Scott for the booklet, "A Guide to INVASIVE PLANTS in Massachusetts" which was given to each of the us at the end of the walk.
