First sighting of F. japonica between the trail and the water along the Jerusalem River. I attempted removal before flowering. about 9 individuals.

I've been told that T. canadensis is nearby the "Jerusalem RIver" area of Wantagh.

Sprinkled amongst a highly invasive, 5 sq mi, wild area, were some beeches, yews and Liriodendrons but no Tsuga.

• Further searches will be more southwest.
• The invasive population is so high, we may see a decline in the Taxus population.

Long Island Cranberry Bog (Riverhead)
My first solo hunt for Schizaea pusilla on eastern Long Island

~60 degrees by 1 p.m. Strange for mid/late February

• 2 hrs in the field,most of which were off trail by damp Juniperous,peering into mosses and Lychophytes
• Ticks were out. Plucked 3 off my clothes
• Minimal invasive Plantae
• Phragmites australis was contained
• No cranberry in fruit
• Tried to log anything that was not a Pinus to assess diversity amongst Long Island Pine Barrens
• Did not find S. pusilla
