If there is one area in nature that many people 'fear to tread', it's wetlands, bogs and swamps. These areas are difficult to traverse, especially if you are afraid to get dirty. There are mosquitoes. There are snapping turtles. Water snakes slither under the banks, and great blue herons stalk frogs along the lily pads. There is often a rich, moist smell of decaying leaves, tree bark and plants that a lot of people find objectionable.
I get it. We're used to clean environments, fabric softener scented clothing and staying dry in today's world. That's understandable and it makes sense.
These estuaries, marshes and beaver flooded woods are filled with incredible wildlife, plants that amaze. They are incredible learning environments that I've come to love.
These are some of my adventures amongst the cattails, reeds and sawgrass.
