It really isn't fair to call last week's question a "trivia" quesion because the (at least) three benefits to a forested watershed are hardly trivial! Nonethess, correct responses include: removal of pollutants, reduction of run-off, erosion and flood control, shelter for wildlife, dispersal of rainwater for slow absorption of it into the soil. And, as Mary Jo and several others reported, they are beautiful!
Congratulations to Darwin (not Charles Darwin, mind you) who takes the January prize, a state parks calendar for 2020.
Let's begin February with a little fact I gleaned while looking for photos for this week's issue. Laurel Hill State Park is celebrating its 75th birthday this year. What was its beginnings?
Send your answer to me and I'll enter you into the month's random drawing for a goodie from the prize closet if you answer correctly. Enter each week for more chances to win. |
