Treasures

A walk in the woods holds many hidden treasures waiting to be discovered, and treasures vary according to the seeker. A person may find a unique rock, which could be taken and used as a paperweight, a fallen branch that could be crafted into an heirloom walking stick, or a pile of bones, which could be collected and a great tale of their discovery passed along to family and friends. Today’s picture is the skeleton of a white-tailed deer; this was a buck sporting a five-point rack. The skull of this deer was photographed as a unique keepsake of a day spent out in the woods.

Any of Western Pennsylvania Conservancy’s properties could hold a treasure specific to anyone’s interests, but the only way to discover one of these treasures is to get out into the woods. Some objects may be found just off the trail, while others may be found by randomly wandering off the beaten path. No matter if an object is found or not, one great treasure will be taken back, and that is the treasure of the time spent and memories created while out in nature.
