Cold Hollow to Canada
Mushrooms and fungi
I try to learn something new everyday, some days I find a topic that I can learn lots about and its in my backyard! A few weeks ago one of the local foresters called me and asked if I would like to take a hike as part of a survey for the Cold Hollow to Canada Conservation Group. I needed motivation to start hiking/walking/running again, the weather was beautiful and it started about a mile from my house, I needed to do this!
As it turned out it wasn’t an “official” hike since they’re weren’t enough qualified trackers involved, it was just me and a fellow landowner Greg. Greg knows way more about the wildlife and how to track them then I do and I live here full time! There goal is to monitor 10 species of mammals in the area and find signs of them. Just a few of them are black bear, fishers, minks, and moose.
It was a pleasant hike that was about 3 1/2 miles long. Greg taught me how to look for bear sign on trees – claw and tooth marks and what types of trees they prefer. We also saw white tail deer sign (which we were not looking for because they are so abundant in the area)
