Yesterday evening while hiking on The Ridges I noticed that the big trees on the old asylum grounds are leafing out for spring.The Ohio buckeyes are blooming and the century-plus old beech on the cemetery walk has got leaves.
Ohio University’s Alden Library has on its shelves a master’s thesis by Environmental and Plant Biology student Christopher Kline (1994) entitled A Floristic Survey of the Vascular Plants of The Ridges, Athens County, Ohio.
