Spruce Hill Hike of 12Apr2008

The major interest of the group was the archaeological and historical significance of the Spruce Hill stone enclosure but much time was directed towards its botanical wonders as well. The footpath on the upper slopes on either side are covered in ramps, trout lilies, tall bellwort, spring beauties, cutleaf toothwort and trilliums. Serviceberry trees are in bloom, while the red maple has already started dropping its spent blossoms.
