Educational Cache Info:
The white, flaky barked sycamore trees are sometimes called the “ghosts of the forest”. They like to have their roots wet, so they are commonly found along waterways like the Blacklick Creek. The Native Americans even used them to help locate water, looking for the white branches to guide them.
