Orchid Hunt at Trail Wood with the Teales

Trail Wood #117 Earl Plato

Oh to visit Trail Wood in spring with Edwin and Nellie May. Here in Niagara we had Bert Miller and Ernie Giles to lead us on nature explorations in floral spring time. Now here in Teale’s May 29th log we read his account.
“ With a picnic lunch packed in a market basket, we set out about nine o’clock. A leisurely half hour later we deposit the basket on the heavy chestnut plank. It is supported by twin piles of flat rocks to form a bench beside the cascade where Hampton Brook cuts across the Old Woods Road. Unencumbered we begin our search for the largest of the orchids.
