Speaking Roots

While walking around the beatiful land at the **Fort Hill Nature Preserve & historical site in Southern Ohio. I noticed several trees with roots bare and speaking. So many roots seeking a small drink from a near empty creek. The trees were sad. They felt lost & forgotten. I promised them I would do my best to spread the word about such an amazing place with so few people around. **Fort Hill Nature Preserve offers no much more than just a beautiful picnic area. Some brief info about **Fort Hill: Fort Hill State Memorial is a nature preserve containing one of the best preserved Indian hilltop enclosures in North America. The Hopewell Indians (100 B.C.-A.D. 500) constructed the 1 1/2 mile long earthwork hilltop enclosure as well as at least two ceremonial buildings and probably a village in the Brush creek Valley. Lying at the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau, immediately south of the glacial boundary, this hilly area contains an impressive diversity of bedrock, soils, flora, and fauna. There are 11 miles of hiking trails at the 1,200 acre preserve as well as a picnic area. **20% of all my sales profit on each Fort Hill & related print will be donated to the Fort Hill Nature Preserve.
