One good thing about removing invasive plants is that you spend a lot of time down at ground level, where you're apt to see really interesting stuff. Look at the moth I found this morning!



There's a tree down a bit north of Pottery Road, reaching about 2/3 of the way across the river. I'm not sure we can blame our friendly neighbourhood beaver for this one:



This former goldenrod housed the larva of an insect; it was probably removed and eaten by a bird. Now it makes a nice house for the fairies:



There are some pretty spring wildflowers at Beechwood. Here's a little wild geranium:



And these are Canada anemones:

All those gorgeous native wildflowers are thanks to your industrious and dedicated invasive plant removal.
