McKenzie Conservation Area — Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2025

The main trails were good.  Trail through the wetlands was less used and heavy snow on the branches made going difficult.  Another foot of snow and the heavy branches will stop hikers/snow shoes.  At least three (3) down trees requiring a cross cut saw were across the wetland path.  We could not easily get past the third tree so we turned back and did not make the loop.  The other trails made a nice hike.  Spikes were not required making it kid friendly.  Many of the planted species in The Native Plant Garden have grown out and it looks natural as it should.
