If you’ve hiked the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill in the past couple of years, you have probably noticed the clearings of vegetation along the way. These were cleared to give the area needed light and room for the Red Maple seedlings to grow.
As you can see in the photograph, each seedling has a pink flag to identify it. Wow! There sure are a lot of Red Maple seedlings growing in each clearing. Kudos to the national park workers in making this happen! It will be fun to watch them grow.
The wheelchair accessible blue mats are gone at Coast Guard Beach for the winter. These mats are wonderful in the summer as they provide a non-slippery access mat so that people with disabilities can enjoy the beach.
“The Highland Light (previously known as Cape Cod Light) is an active lighthouse on the Cape Cod National Seashore in North Truro. The current tower was erected in 1857, replacing two earlier towers that had been built in 1797 and 1831. It is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod.“
Highland Light is such a beautiful lighthouse. Have you ever been there?
It’s time to take the lobster traps in for the winter at Nauset Marsh. The dedicated fishermen , who have worked so hard all summer, are getting their traps ready to put away until spring… when it starts all over again!
