Wild Geranium
Geranium maculatum
Veteran Acres park is
roughly 160 acres in size. In this park you can explore three very
distinct habitats, prairie, wetland, and woodland. Each has its own
unique aspects, and all can be beautiful in their own way. However,
given a choice, I will always pick a woodland when I want to spend
some time in nature.
Solomon's Seal
Polygonatum commutatum
This cache will bring you to one of
my favorite areas in VA Woods. Here you can watch the seasons
progress as the plants change from wild geranium in the spring, to
solomon’s seal in the summer, and white snakeroot heralding
the coming of fall. In the winter, with all of the plants gone, you
can often spot deer walking quietly among the oaks.
White Snakeroot
Ageratina altissima
Please tread lightly
as you seek this cache. Believe me, you, and all who come after,
will be rewarded.
