- Jim Andrews leads a winter walk in the town forest in February, 2010.
February 20, 2010 was a bright day in the Salisbury Town Forest for Jim Andrews’ winter ecology walk. Almost 30 people joined us for a loop across some densely wooded kame terraces. There were just a few inches of old snow on the ground, but a day earlier a fresh inch had fallen, so there was a perfect record of all the animals that had walked around in the previous 24 hours. We saw good tracks of deer, vole, mice, gray squirrel, flying squirrel, chipmunk, coyote, fox, bobcat, raccoon, and crow. We also learned about the red oaks, white oaks, chestnut oaks, red maples, American beech, aspen, paper birch, and white pine which make up the forest canopy there, and pondered whether one tree might be a black oak.
