Wolf Trap is owned by the National Park Service, hence the "US Boundary" sign, which always cracks me up. Who knew I could enter and leave the U.S. without leaving home?!

Next is the sign on their "deer exclosure", which explains their experiment to see which native plants will re-appear in a fenced-in area.

Finally, a photo of Wolf Trap's native meadow...not very colorful, but the birds love the seeds! There are 42 kinds of plants in the meadow, all from North Creek Nurseries...this link shows what it looked like in August. http://www.northcreeknurseries.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/news...

I'm going to pay very close attention to what survives in this meadow, the ultimate test of deer resistance!
