Llandover Woods

Llandover Woods

New for 2006 in Llandover Woods

The last 6 months have brought great changes to Llandover Woods. Human and natural forces can be seen throughout…

- - The giant Bigleaf Maple that fell over the trail in two places

- - The restoration area that Penny Rose started in 2004 was cleared and mulched, and now baby Cedar, Hemlock, and Fir are happily reaching to the sky to become the new, sustainable canopy in 40 or 50 years.

- - Work started on a new restoration area at the base of the steps. Magically revealed with removal of blackberry and Scotch Broom are lovely stands of Madrona, Fir, Salal, and a High Bush Cranberry- natives with a new lease on life.

- - Sightings included numerous daytime encounters with the Barred Owl and even Coyotes. Their songs have punctuated many nights in Llandover Woods.

- Extensive trail work has been done to keep the mud at bay-with mixed success.

- Our wonderful volunteers continue to clear invasive weeds and thoughtless litter to keep Llandover pristine.
