Wellington Elementary 3rd graders joined us to experience and better understand the differences between structurally complex legacy forests like Hooven Forest and tree farms like Crystal Lake, and why we need both! The students also learned about native and invasive plants and animals, why it matters and what to do about it, as well as how to listen for and understand different kinds of birdsongs and what they mean. The students also helped plant new trees in Crystal Lake’s tree farm. Several parent chaperones noted this third-grade class has never felt this engaged and well-regulated on past field trips, and everyone - adults and children alike - enjoyed getting outside and into the wild! Thank you to the Crystal Lake community and Tree Farm Advisory Committee for hosting us and guiding the tree planting and Alexia from Hawthorne Farm for opening the students’ eyes and ears and minds to the beauty of birdsong in Hooven Forest (see below for your chance to experience this firsthand!).

Jan 2025 - After the last two wind storms, the Hooven Forest trails were littered with debris - including some very large downed trees. Our neighbor Paul has been clearing the trails of Hooven Forest for years. While walking in Hooven Forest this week, we came across Paul working hard with chainsaw and belt to remove the broken end of a large Douglas fir that was driven straight into the bed of the trail during the last storm. Paul told us he was also responsible for limbing up a huge old maple at one of the trail junctions that split at the crotch and landed straight across the trail. Paul told us he has years of experience working on trail maintenance from volunteering with both Trails Northwest and DNR. He lives near Hooven Forest, and has been clearing the trails for years. Our beanies are off to Paul. We hope you give him a hearty Thank You if you see him in Hooven Forest.
