I am a botanist-at-large (retired). I started walking the Westside Trail regularly when I was building strength in a badly sprained ankle. As I answered questions of others along the trail, I realized that I had a lot of knowledge I could share that would help others see more as they walked. This is my spot to get that information out. I welcome others who may have information on bryophytes, lichens, mushrooms, wildlife, geology, and other topics to contact me and add to this site (plantedconnection[at]gmail[dot]com).
In the future, I may add other writing and topics to this site.
For information about the trail see the Intro & Resources section.
I would love to hear what’s blooming & what to notice on the Westside trail if you are posting that. Thank you.
Hi Julie,
I’m just getting going on this. I am starting to post what is blooming under the Current folder.
