This week I ventured back to the Salmon Hole to check up on my paper birch. I got some better photos of my tree at different angles and observed any changes. To be honest, there weren’t many! My tree is still budding, with the promise of leaves on the horizon. As a whole, the Salmon Hole seems to be waking up from our long, cold winter! The water level is very high due to all the snowmelt, and I heard more birds than the last time I visited. I am excited to see how the warm weather this week and next affect my tree!
