At Swine Creek, Valley trail walking towards Swine Creek Road, on the hill, looking East there are three tarps stakes to the ground and have been so for month. Do you know why?

You’ve photographed the site of small research grant-funded research being conducted by a Kent State University graduate student at Swine Creek Reservation, Big Creek Park and The West Woods. She is collecting leaves from various trees with the tarps and looking at decomposition rates, soils, moisture, etc. Thanks for asking!
