Amazing what we learn from native species and a new tree trail in South Bend

My story on Sunday about South Bendâs extended ban on planting and selling invasive species, which the city council passed Monday, drew lots of comments. Many denounced a tree on the banned list, the callery pear, which has a cultivar known as Bradford pear, known for being weak and splitting easily in a storm. Callery pear wasnât invasive when it was introduced, but decades later, as cultivars were developed, it became fertile and spread aggressively into open fields. Some donât see harm in periwinkle, a groundcover with purple flowers. Iâve grown it, too (not anymore), and it wonât stop spreading. Others say crime and violence are better issues to tackle.

Mountain bikers bring trail back to Goshen woods, near otters swimming hole

Jim Wellington and a few pals have resurrected a mountain bike trail that heâd etched about 17 years ago in a Goshen woods as it follows the snaking Elkhart River. He can paddle to the trail across the river from his house, reaching a spot where heâs driven an orange stake to monitor fluctuations in the water level. After all, water affects access. If itâs too high, you canât take the only path riding into the trail: under a bridge. In that case, you can hoof it â though with extreme caution â across busy Plymouth Avenue. But once youâre there, the two miles of flat trail weave as a quiet reprieve from the busier (and also flat) dirt trails across the river in the cityâs 34.5-acre Dr. Larry Beachy Classified Forest.
