Nature
At the edge of the slough, dogwood grows with reddish stems and white, pea-sized berries, and its inner bark was mixed with tobacco to make kinnikinnick, which Indians favored in their ceremonial pipes. Along the edge of the pond, jewelweed, also called touch-me-not, has light green, watery stems with many branches; yellowish flowers appear in summer, and its seeds grow in pods that burst when touched. Rubbing jewelweed foliage on areas affected by poison ivy reportedly affords relief.
