Part 1: My Trees
My neck of the woods, in Southwestern Ontario, is the very farthest northern tip of the Carolinian Forest. (Another half hour north of me and the environment has changed.) “Carolinian Forest” is exactly what the name says—- forest from the Carolinas.

My property used to be a farm, and has s...
