A long time ago, I went out in the woods with a friend of the Vects Line in the search for a kind of trees (or maybe fungi, I have not remembered a long time ago) (or perhaps only (or only) I found on the white Atlantic rice.
We have never found a lichen, but we visited a number of Atlantic white rice swamps during this research, which is the most distinguished being one near Agameticus Mountain. It was early in the spring, and there was still a lot of snow on the ground, hiding from the fact that we were visiting a swamp (only white Atlantic rice grows in wetlands). We must cut the crust dozens of times, and we drowned in the snow and the wet spirit until we thighs while we moved from one tree to another in our non -glorious research. Such adventure and a lot of fun were.
Therefore, when I went back to Maine and heard that the white Atlantic rice was growing nearby in the Marj Al -Manaq in the Bever Dame Heath Reserve (you can find www.gwrlt.orgI could not wait to explore. But the problem with visiting the Atlantic White rice is that it grows in wet places, swamps, swamps, and falasa. It may be almost impossible to reach them unless you go in the winter when the Earth is frozen. I had to wait until last week – for the first time in the past few years, the Earth has been frozen for a long time to provide enough foot.

Chamaceparis Thyoides is rare in Maine. It is inserted as a S2-opeperized in Maine species, which means that they are at a great risk of spreading in the state. We are in the northern border of its homeland, you will find them here and there along the length The coastal plain for South Maine, so it was never a common tree. It evolved into cranberry farms.
In addition, it is a tree required to wood. Since European colonists arrived for the first time along the eastern coast, the areas of Atlantic white rice parking decreased from an estimated 500,000 acres to less than 50,000, mainly due to the cutting of trees. White Atlantic rice of lightweight, childish and straight wood was estimated that was perfect for things such as building boats, shaking surfaces, and fence functions.

According to Atlantic white rice initiative“In addition to its high value such as permanent wood, records of the old AWC forests – included in peat and mold from the swamps – were commercially task. Trees records often drilled the buried records, especially after the intense fires that consumed the peat matrix, thus exposing the records. The acid, anaerobic peat combined with the resistance of severe decomposition of the AWC circumstances that were created The records are mainly within the peat matrix.
Pickled in Al -Khath Matrish !! I would like to see something made of this wood!
There are three rice found in this area: white Atlantic rice, north white rice and red rice east. If you bring rice around anyone who is lovers of botany in any way, they will feel that they are forced to talk about how our rice is not “real”.
The real rice in the Pinaceae family belongs to the sex of Cedrus, they are a citizen of the Mediterranean and Himalayas in the world and bear their greenery in dense groups of shooting on Small, Woody Spur, while the false rice in CuPressaceae and Comprise is a variety of a variety of The races. Wrong rice has evergreen tree leaves that are arranged in fans -like sprays. Whether they are real or wrong, these trees share a game -resistant fragrance.
I took advantage of the snow shoes organized by the Great Works Regional Land Trust to visit my first white ignorance. We have followed a circular road to the swamp, and we raised our way through Heath from the winds intended by the intended red makberg, the gray bitola, the compound causes, the leather, and the Winterpry until it finally arrived in the garden of Cedar. Most trees were young and small, but few of the public expenditures.
White Atlantic rice usually lives from 2 to 300 years, but the ring of burial records indicate that they can rise to 1000 years and grow more than 100 feet! White Atlantic rice forms dense stances that spoil other species and create primitive stillness during dark rest periods. There is a feeling that you are in an old cathedral standing in one of these orchards. The long wait for perfect circumstances was definitely worth it.
