NTS-
Today son Mitch and I visited Bedford Reservation. Bedford Reservation is part of the Cleveland MetroParks, with Tinker's Creek Gorge, a National Natural Landmark, its main attraction. Tinker's Creek is the largest tributary of the Cuyahoga River. It's a very scenic area with nice woods in addition to the picturesque creek. The canopy is still quite dense, so measuring was difficult, but we did find some nice if not exceptionally tall trees. The area was somewhat different from others in the Cuyahoga Valley in that tuliptree was not as dominant as I would have expected; oaks, especially red and black, were the most frequent trees of with a large girth. A summary of what we found today is here: http://alpha.treesdb.org/Browse/Sites/863/Details
And attached are some photos:
