A Year in the Forest

I live on 10 beautiful and diverse acres of woodland.  The woods are located in southern Indiana, USA and consist mainly of hardwoods.  There is abundant wildlife: birds, squirrels, deer, red fox, raccoon, opossum, coyote, and turkeys.  The woods are full of many kinds of mushrooms, which I like to collect and sometimes eat.  There are plants and trees of many varieties.  I hope to document them all as well as the changes of the seasons.  My plan is to spend some time every day out in the woods.  I have a series of trails cleared out which will allow me to get into the forest in all kinds of weather.  I will record my observations here. Hopefully, the forest will change me and not I the forest.
