This trail runs from Keyport to Delaware. Other trails at IBSP bring you in direct contact with Bayberry. Besides the beautiful fragrance and wonder candles , bayberry is an all American fever treatment. It is clearly recognizable by its yellowish color and the curled leaves that predominate when the plant is dying. Trish indicated to us that this plant arrrived at IBSP after a 1960 storm transported it from Massachusetts to Virginia An interesting character that lives amongst these plants and areas is a famous fox called Roadkill.
Foxes have caches of food.
They have cat like canines and tend to lunge and pounce. They are prone to stalk and spring up and land on their front feet. Their small stomach increases their ability to land Roadkill is a panhandling female who is found at times lying in the road. She often attracts a lot of attention and food in this manner. Roadkill has also trained her pups to exhibit the same behavior.
