The Fort Wildlife Refuge Self-Guided Trail

Station One: Ferns

During the summer, you can see a sea of ferns, these are mostly cinnamon and hay- scented ferns. If you have missed this sea of ferns due to seasonal differences, you will be able to notice holly plants and blueberry plants along the trail. Holly plants are evergreens and they produce red berries that birds eat. However, they are poisonous to humans.

This Self-Guided Trail was created in 2017 by Troop 1 Diamond Hill for Paul-Hugo Arcand’s Eagle Project and enhanced in 2022 by Troop 1139 Slaterville for Owen Boisvert’s Eagle Project to add scan codes to the stations.
