February 1, 2024 A Winter Walk around the Southern side and by the waterway at SAFF

Cup lichen

Greater whipwort, Bazzania trilobata

Cladonia peziziformis, turban cup lichen

Snakewort, Conocephalum salebrosum

Brachythecium rivulare or Waterside feather moss

Dicranum scoparium, Broom forkmoss

Leucobryum glaucum, pincushion moss

We were delighted to find all of these mosses, lichens and liverworts. They are so alive and colorful in the forest while everything else has gone drab for winter. We are going to walk around the north side of the farm and look for more types as soon as we get back out there.

We moved our big table and two benches as well as firebox grate to the farm and will be happy for this if we ever sit down to relax. lol.

When we camp, we can use this for fire until we dig our fire pit.
