My previous two posts described my first volunteer experience planting native sedges in the Great Marsh, and the short photo-hike I did before hand. Turns out I was so energized by the restoration work that afterwards I drove over to the Miller Woods trail at the IDNP for another photo-hike. It was mid-April and the wild flowers are just beginning to pop up there so I wanted to see how things were looking. As always, I was not disappointed.
In my previous post I described a fun afternoon spent doing volunteer restoration work for the IDNP in the Great Marsh. In order to make sure I would be able to snag a parking spot at the meeting location, I arrived early enough that I was able to get in a short 45 minute photo-hike before hand.
I arrived about 8:30am, and a light misty rain had just ended in the area meaning everything was coated with glistening water droplets as shown in the photograph above.
