You’re never too old to discover new things. Found this new discovery while out hiking this afternoon at Chestnut Ridge. Conopholis americana, the American cancer-root, bumeh or bear corn. Pretty interesting plant. #lovenature #naturerocks

Had a nice hike today at Knox Farm State Park. Installed about 30 of the new tags on the bluebird boxes to make monitoring easy this year.
