The Hollow

The hollow is a magical place hidden on the far side of the wetlands dam.  Its low-lying ground and the presence of the creek make it a perfect home for those of us who like water but do not necessarily want to live in it.

The pathway into the hollow is amazing in spring -- there are daffodils everywhere!

 

Have you ever wondered what might be living on or underneath a log?

Well, the hollow is the best place at Boxerwood to find out.  Check out all the cool things we found in just a few minutes of looking -- imagine what you could find in a whole afternoon!

What's the last thing you see as you leave the hollow?  Why, a hollow log, of course!

Looks like a great home to me!  Which of us that live in the forest do you think might make our home here?
