Cool this AM out for a ride up the Everett Lake Rd east of town. Lots of Pin Cherries along the sides of the roads, bears have been pulling the trees down to get at them.
Ron, Yes the bears actually pull the young cherry trees right to the ground so they can strip the berries. The berries are very tart but can be used for jelly.
First time in Gowganda was 1968 with the Dept. of Lands and Forests, doing a soil and vegetation study for the Wildlife Productivity Inventory. While here found the country amazing, the boreal forest the lakes at every turn and the air clean and fresh. It didn't take long back then to get the camera out and start recording some of the sights I'd seen. Since then with a few layoffs in photography its good to get right back at it. Putting your pictures on a blog like this forces you to go out and take more pics, which is the goal of this site.

Do the bears come right out on to the road ?
Are pin cherries useful (can you eat them and if so how)
