I love woods. I was born and raised in Vermont and Connecticut where the woods were my playground. As the population around America increases it has become necessary to set aside natural areas to preserve native plant and animal communities.
Tract K, which was set aside as a school property, is now being considered for a park. If properly managed and planted it could become a large natural area. There is also another passive park area along Winterberry Drive which now has a few trees planted with some lovely native flowers along a winding shell walkway to take you through the area.
With some well placed under story plants, this could become another native habitat for Marco Island wildlife…
