Introduction
Boggy Footpath Area
As a walk, starting at the southern end of the Boggy Path and walking north-eastward towards the log-cabin, the trees are about 10 feet (2.5 m) apart, mostly alder and willow, with more birch as the ground rises. During October, the ground was dominated by bracken and ferns with a variety of other plants. |
