Spring
wildflowers
Ephemeral wildflowers race against time. Their season starts with the snow melt
and before and ends when the trees leaf-out. After that the forest is in deep shade
and the plants go dormant until the following Spring.
The short growing season means it can take years for these plants to reproduce.
Most are protected by law.
hibernation ends
Reptiles, amphibians, and hibernating mammals wake up. Migrating birds return to Michigan.
Spring babies
As plants grow and insects return, there's enough food to support the next generation.
Summer
While the woods are in shade, water plants and prairie plants
take advantage of the long summer days.
Fall
Seeds mature and leaves drop
in preparation for the cold
months ahead
Winter
some plants and animals
keep going despite the snow
