This evening I joined a group of native plant enthusiasts on the DWP (Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad bed) trail near the very end of Skyline Parkway near Midway Road west of Duluth. We were joined by Jeffrey Flory who is an Invasive Species Specialist for the 1854 Treaty Authority. There were quite a few invasive species by the parking lot probably brought in by the trucks and equipment when the parking lot was upgraded. Because of his occupation he can spot non native species quicker than native species. We went for a two hour hike pointing out the plants and trees and shrubs. We had a perfect evening for this weather wise. I even got a little snack from a high bush cranberry plant. My idea of a good time is hanging out in nature with people who can tell me what I am looking at. Here is a picture of a very tall Juneberry tree.
