Title
Clethra blooming in the Reading Town Forest
Description
Our family spent many hours in the Reading Town Forest during 2020. It was a real touchstone for us to get out of the house together and enjoy nature. We often expressed our appreciation for the town leaders who set aside this unique tract of land and to those who maintain its trails, boardwalks, signage, and other unobtrusive amenities that make it so walkable. This photo was taken from one of the boardwalks. It is of the fragrant Clethra plant, also called Summersweet. Indeed, each bush was humming with bees and other pollinators.
