Bench 4 at Kuse Nature Preserve

A large igneous rock supports one side of Bench 4. Nearby, there may be native and non-native wildflowers and weeds. Look for Oxeye Daisies, Canada Goldenrod and Tansy.

A wild apple tree blooms in spring and bears fruit in fall. Near where the trail turns, there are elderberries and raspberries.

White Cedar trees were planted near a depression that is often filled with water. Many Red and Sugar Maple trees can be viewed when seated on this bench.

In spring, a rare Henry's Elfin Butterfly may be seen flitting from plant to plant.

Use the links on the grid below to help you observe.
