Over 40 signs along the trails provide information on plants, ecology, history, and geology and are GIS accessible by a link? <http://svionline.us10.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=2eb2065854cd7eb78f9a07890&id=530ed7f29e&e=9f4f0756fb> or with a provided interpretive booklet.

?from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.  
Charles Darwin

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred??
Richard Dawkins


The rule of no realm is mine.  But all worthy things that are in peril as the earth now stands, those are my care.  And for my part,  I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything passes through the night that can still grow fair or bear fruit and flower again in the days to come. For  I too am a steward, are not you?  Gandalf
