Wildwood is more than a place to visit — it’s 170 acres of living, growing grounds, with trees planted along 20 miles of roads going back to the cemetery’s founding in 1863. Old logging trails and streams still wind through the wooded sections, and the property is home to birds ranging from small sparrows to hawks nesting in the valleys around our western sections.
This is the first entry in what we hope will be a regular series — short, simple notes on what’s happening on the grounds season to season: what’s blooming, what’s been spotted, what’s changing. We’re also working toward turning a meadow along the eastern sections into a wildflower haven, and hope to partner with local birding groups for regular birdwatching visits.
If you’ve spotted something interesting on a recent visit — a bird, a bloom, a good stretch of fall color — let us know. We’d like these notes to reflect what’s actually happening on the grounds, from the people walking them.
