Dry Woodland Habitat at Evergreen Long House

 Description: 

Welcome to the Dry Woodlands!  Where Lodgepole Pines and Chickens of the Wood live in happy harmony together.  We have a 20'-25' X 27' dry woodland area that we will be nursing back to health.  There are 6 Lodgepole Pines (one was completely dead and has been removed), and one Douglas Fir tree in the back.  In the center of the site, there sits a dead log that had Chicken mushrooms (Chicken of the Woods) growing out of it when we first saw it.  These are a type of Polypore and are of choice edibility.  The entire site is covered in what appears to be Perennial Ryegrass and in the grass there are weeds and some Himalayan Blackberry vines.  There is an invasive crabgrass that has not been identified.
