A new trail was opened in Bedford Reservation a little over a week ago; the Forbes Crossing Trail. Some of the wood used was from downed trees, and a portion of the wood was processed at the Cleveland Metroparks Brecksville sawmill.

| Yikes! Kent found two of these snakes with viper-looking heads: one in a window well, and one while raking the back yard; this is a juvenile Storeria dekayi/Northern Brown Snake, about 15-18 inches long; apparently juvenile snake necks are skinny and make the head look triangular! |
