This past week my husband and I enjoyed a walk through Long Point State Park, a RTPI Natural History Atlas location and a beautiful natural area just a short walk from our home. While we were out, we took a quick look in a stream and seep for some salamanders and found a good sized Northern Dusky (Desmognathus fuscus). Although the salamander was exciting to see, I was most excited to see my husband flipping rocks and enjoying this naturally rich area as much as I was.
While fall is soon approaching, there is still plenty of time to get outside and explore the county’s abundant natural areas, especially with great friends and family. If you have a passion for the natural world, share it with others and it may ignite an interest in them as well!
