From today's featured article

The term Carolinian Forest is applied to old growth forests in the far south of the Province of Ontario. These forests are largely composed of large and slow growing hardwoods. Relatively few stands of Carolinian forest remain, most having been clear-cut to turn the fertile soil where they were found into farmland. Less than 0.1 percent of Canada's forests are Carolinian forest.

Species found in the remaining pockets of Carolinian forest, and nowhere else in Canada, include: tulip tree, black gum, sassafras, black oak and cucumber tree.

Stands of Carolinian forest remain accessible to canoeists traveling on Big Creek, within the Long Point Conservation Area.

Deep thoughts by Enki

"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence" - Frederick Douglass

Dove thoughts by LeicesterLass

"I am carved in ice, framed in flame, carried by wind, whispered in waves, and grounded in stone. The strength of ice is in the stillness. The passion of fire is in the heart. The freedom of air is in the spirit. The wisdom of water is in the mind. And the knowledge of earth is in the roots." – Dove Hepburn (1980–2025)
