White Trail has a lot of bridges to help hikers cross the salt marsh and swamp areas on the trail. There is a lot of wet land at the preserve. The woods at Durbin Creek was covered with ferns. I thought of them as green land feathers. They are so light and easily bend with the breeze. These are the same ferns growing at my house as well as my mother's. Pine trees are lanky and tall and the thick undergrowth of the ferns adds a nice green hue of softness to the wet swamp areas and helps to cool the woods under the harsh hot climate.
