Dog’s Bane growing by the Fen. Dog’s bane has been used to make a strong cordage by many native american groups. You can see some orange colored aphids on the stem of this plant.

Here are some rose hips that are growing by the camp road near the fen. Rose hips are edible and are high in vitamin c.

Staghorn Sumac – Oct 8 2006
This staghorn sumac tree is on Massasauga trail just behind the Tamarack lodge.
The fuzzy red fruit from this plant can be used to make a tea. I have seen some blue jays eating the fruit as well.
