state natural area poems #10: toft point

bryophyte elders

thallus-thick, mossgrown

small-talk on the pineduff path

toft point 1

toft point state natural area is a 732-acre piece of land in door county, wi tucked between two bays. with boreal forest, mesic forest, and sedge meadow and swampland, it boasts one of the most diverse bryophyte communities in the state. it was a distinctly different feeling walking thru these woods.

thanks to uw-green bay and the wi nature conservancy for maintaining this patch of earth.
