This is a very special place! Very exciting, because there are healthy F.grandifolia trees of all ages with no evidence of BLD. There is no understory, however, because of the deer population. There is a huge meadow and, a Big Woods, with trees going back hundreds of years.

I'd never seen the flowers of these fascinating plants. The flowers look like tiny green beach umbrellas. On the underside of some of these umbrellas were yellow woolly tufts. These tiny umbrellas were held up by dark purple stems.

Just wondering if Common Milkweed could be one part of the “solution” to, L. delicatula. Many dead on these plants. Could the milkweed be toxic for them?
