It's bad enough they allow logging in Shawnee state forest (who knows what other rarities they are affecting) but to see the Aster hanging on with such devastation around it was troublesome. You may have an incredible view across the rolling hills but not worth the potential price payed. Is that spot still the only known location for it in Ohio?Andrew Lane Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555125434346996812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-73194258471501177352011-09-26T07:01:59.263-04:002011-09-26T07:01:59.263-04:00The creeping aster should be in fine shape then, A...The creeping aster should be in fine shape then, Andrew. Its habitat is a disaster, though! Hopefully it'll pull through and survive the lunar landscape that it now lives in.Jim McCormachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444322057532066466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-5719855465428281262011-09-26T01:33:17.971-04:002011-09-26T01:33:17.971-04:00Nice post, Jim.
